Quickly measured without a blood draw, pulse oximetry or SpO2 indicates the estimated oxygen saturation of red blood cells. It is an indirect measure, calculated through a clip-on fingertip device ...

This is the oxygen saturation level needed to keep your cells — and your body — healthy. While having an oxygen saturation (SPO2) below this temporarily is not believed to cause damage, repeat or ...

As the country battles the second wave of the novel coronavirus pandemic, demand for portable pulse oximeters – small devices that allow users to keep track of their blood oxygen levels, has risen ...

Introduction Recovery course post COVID-19 pneumonia remains poorly understood. This study aims to present data on clinical and radiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients admitted to the ...

Acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation is a leading cause of mortality in the intensive care unit. Although single peripheral blood oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen ...

Aims Clinical outcome measures in bronchiolitis are frequently subjective and highly variable. We wished to evaluate whether the regular measurement of SpO2 in room air offers a good objective measure ...

OBJECTIVE:To determine differences in the duration and level of resuscitation between infants that achieve a peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 80% by 5 min compared with those who remain below 80 ...
