Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...
Problem While SpO2 is a good approximation of SaO2 when saturation is above 90%, this is not necessarily the case at lower saturations (see for example Lebecque, 1991). It is also treated separately ...
It is uncertain whether skin pigmentation affects pulse oximeter accuracy at low HbO2 saturation. The accuracy of finger pulse oximeters during stable, plateau levels of arterial oxygen saturation ...
Introduction Clinicians often obtain peripheral saturation (SpO2) readings by placing a finger probe sensor on the patient’s earlobe when a reading cannot be obtained from the finger. The accuracy of ...
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 ...
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 ...
