These promising results-from an NIH-funded study that exclusively evaluated Masimo SET ® in a vulnerable, clinically fragile patient population-add to previously published evidence of its strong ...
This exploratory study examined the relationship between oxygen delivery index (DO2i) during DCD heart transplant (HT), warm ischemic time, and posttransplant outcomes. All DCD HT between 10/2021 and ...
A major UK study shows that commonly used home pulse oximeters can overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin, increasing the risk of undetected hypoxemia and raising urgent questions about ...
Pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect hypoxaemia give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, according to UK researchers. As a result, they warn that low blood ...
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, ...
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 ...
Discrepancies between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation can pose challenges in clinical assessment. Possible underlying causes include poor peripheral perfusion, skin pigmentation, motion ...
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 ...
Credit: Masimo. The pulse oximeter is intended for spot-checking of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and pulse rate. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Masimo ...
