Changes in oxygenation saturation with rasburicase administration and subsequent treatment. The oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry began to decline following rasburicase. After intubation, arterial blood gas analysis showed PaO2 of 197 mmHg and SaO2 of 100%, despite a pulse oximetry reading of 86% saturation. The methemoglobin level was 11.1%. Exchange transfusion resulted in resolution of the oxygen saturation gap and methemoglobinemia. HFNC high-flow nasal cannula
