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 ...
These promising results-from an NIH-funded study that exclusively evaluated Masimo SET ® in a vulnerable, clinically fragile patient population-add to previously published evidence of its strong ...
The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...
New research was presented at CHEST 2022, the American College of Chest Physicians 2022 annual meeting, from October 16-19 in Nashville. The features below highlight some of the studies emerging from ...
Discrepancies between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation can pose challenges in clinical assessment. Possible underlying causes include poor peripheral perfusion, skin pigmentation, motion ...
Patients with COPD who travel to high altitudes have an estimated PaO2 decrease of 0.84 kPa with each 1000 meter of altitude gain. High-altitude travel in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...
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 ...
When a patient is receiving supplemental oxygen during surgery, there’s a risk that they’ll develop hyperoxia, where their arterial blood becomes oxygenated above normal levels, potentially leading to ...
PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood that represents the overall oxygen content. It is different from SaO2 and SpO2 in that it measures how much oxygen is present, rather than the ...
