Definitions of hypoxaemia, hypoxia, type 1 respiratory failure and hyperoxaemia Definition of hypercapnia and type 2 respiratory failure Definition of acidosis (respiratory acidosis and metabolic ...

In medicine, hypoxia is a condition in which the human body tissues are not oxygenated sufficiently to maintain adequate homeostasis, resulting from inadequate oxygen delivery to the tissues due to ...

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 ...

Case Presentation: A 37-year-old man with no known medical history presented to a pharmacy with agitation and severe chest pain radiating to the back. At 16:00, he experienced a witnessed cardiac ...

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 ...

This prospective and observational study was conducted in a 24-bed ICU of a French university hospital between March 2019 and July 2020 for non COVID-19 patients and in the first pandemic wave ...

Perhaps the most feared consequence of COVID-19 infection is the development of severe disease which may lead to intensive care unit (ICU) admission. As shown in Hu et al. systematic review and meta ...
