A 68-year-old male patient is admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory distress following a myocardial infarction. He exhibits symptoms of severe dyspnea and is found to have bilateral pulmonary edema on chest X-ray. Despite receiving supplemental oxygen, his arterial blood gas analysis shows significant hypoxemia. The medical team is concerned about the underlying mechanisms contributing to his low oxygen levels. Which process best explains the hypoxemia associated with pulmonary edema in this patient? O Increased alveolar dead space due to volume overload O Decreased amount of oxygen in inspired gas O Right-to-left cardiac shunting O Impaired alveolocapillary membrane diffusion
