In two trials, conducted in Australia and the United Kingdom, infants born before 28 weeks’ gestation were randomly assigned to either a lower (85 to 89%) or a higher (91 to 95%) oxygen-saturation ...
Oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin that is bound to molecular oxygen at a given time point. It is an important parameter for managing patients in a clinical setup. Oxygen ...
Introduction and Objectives The current BTS oxygen guideline recommends a target oxygen saturation range of 94–98% for acutely ill patients not at risk of hypercapnia whilst the TSANZ guideline ...
