Abstract: Objective: Current intrapartum fetal monitoring technology is unable to provide physicians with an objective metric of fetal well-being, leading to degraded patient outcomes and increased ...

For any given SaO2, SpO2 readings are higher for those with darker versus lighter skin tone. HealthDay News — Patients with darker skin tones have peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) readings that ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Racial biases persist in the use of pulse oximetry devices for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) requiring very high levels of oxygen support, a ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that quantitatively defines the relationships between the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and ...

Purpose: This study investigated cognitive impairment in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by evaluating the utility of sleep apnea-specific hypoxic burden (SASHB) and sleep breathing ...

Rajesh started following the latest happenings in the world of Android around the release of the Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S. After flashing custom ROMs and kernels on his beloved Galaxy S, he ...

Serious hidden hypoxemia — defined as an SaO2 less than 88% despite an SpO2 of 92% or greater — occurred in 0.6% of the critically ill Asian patients studied. Hypoxemia went undetected in 0.8% of ...

Maintaining targeted oxygen support at 90%-96% did not significantly increase supplemental oxygen–free days for approximately 1 month but safely reduced the use of supplemental oxygen without ...

The EquiOx study showed that in critically ill patients, oxygen saturation assessed by pulse oximetry (SpO 2) was often lower than arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ...
