Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...

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 ...

The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...

ABSTRACT: Importance: The best respiratory support technique to reduce intubation and mortality in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 is controversial. Objective: To determine the ...

Apnoeic oxygenation has experienced a resurgence in interest in critical care and perioperative medicine. However, its effect on cerebral oxygenation and factors influencing it, have not yet been ...

Medical terms like blood oxygen, spO2 levels, and oxygen saturation became more popular during the peak COVID-19 pandemic. The Delta variant had taken a massive toll on the population, leading to ...

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 ...

For the MIMIC-III database, we identified unique ICU encounters (icustay_id) with mechanical ventilation status. We next identified the lab event PaO 2 and chart event SpO 2 occurring at the same time ...

In the past blood gas analysis and interpretation was performed primarily at university and large referral hospitals. In the past blood gas analysis and interpretation was performed primarily at ...
