NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Racial biases persist in the use of pulse oximetry devices for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) requiring very high levels of oxygen support, a ...

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 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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oxygen is a vital element for human life, and lack of it leads to death in just a few minutes. A condition where the respiratory system fails in one or both of its gas exchange functions (oxygenation ...

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 ...
