Clinical question: What is the prevalence of, and what are the risk factors for, occult hypoxemia in ICU patients, and does that impact patient outcomes? Background: The finding of occult hypoxemia, i ...

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 ...

Invincible is getting a fighting game developed by the minds behind Killer Instinct. Here’s everything you need to know about it, including its characters, mechanics, and more. On December 11 during ...

At 1 year after participants’ ICU stay for acute respiratory failure, mean DLCO was about 5% lower in those who had an ICU oxygenation target of 60 vs 90 mm Hg. Cognitive impairment levels among ...

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 ...

The OpenOximetry Dataset stores clinical and lab pulse oximetry data. It supports measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) by arterial blood gas co-oximetry and pulse oximetry (SpO2), ...

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 ...
