Discrepancies between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation can pose challenges in clinical assessment. Possible underlying causes include poor peripheral perfusion, skin pigmentation, motion ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...

Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurement of regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rcStO2) has become a topic of high interest in neonatology. Multiple studies have demonstrated that rcStO2 ...

Abstract: The paper proposes the diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS) only using snore sound and SaO2 signals. The time-frequency characteristics of snore sound signal are extracted to ...

Continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) is the main method to guide respiratory and oxygen support in neonates during postnatal stabilization and after admission ...

A 25-year-old Caucasian man with a history of spherocytosis, splenectomy, recurrent blood transfusion, and no cardiopulmonary disease presented for an emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a ...

Pulmonology Advisor, a trusted source of medical news and feature content for healthcare providers, offers clinicians insight into the latest research to inform clinical practice and improve patient ...

The gold standard for determining arterial blood gas levels is actually measuring arterial blood samples with a blood gas machine to get information on the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), pH ...

Are there any guidelines on when to initiate home oxygen therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? —Darren E. Levy, DO, Wellington, Fla. Long-term low-flow oxygen therapy ...
