A member asked:
Can laryngectomee patients suffer from hypoxemia during the winter season?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It is dependent on the ability of air to get, which should not be a problem and the ability of the lung to transfer oxygen into the blood. The problem is that if you look at people who undergo laryngectomy, many were smokers who also had bad lungs.
