Background Automated oxygen control systems are finding their way into contemporary ventilators for preterm infants, each with its own algorithm, strategy and effect. Objective To provide guidance to ...

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, ...

Lungpacer Medical, the award-winning medical device company founded by BPK professor Andy Hoffer in 2009 and spun out from the SFU Neurokinesiology Lab in 2014, achieved a key milestone on December 5, ...

Among 11 fingertip pulse oximeters used during hypoxemia in healthy participants, five devices had a root mean square error (ARMS) >3%, which falls outside the ...

When a patient is receiving supplemental oxygen during surgery, there’s a risk that they’ll develop hyperoxia, where their arterial blood becomes oxygenated above normal levels, potentially leading to ...

The objective is to compare supine and prone positions in terms of arterial blood gas during lithotripsy endourology procedures in different stages. Cases of during lithotripsy endourology procedures ...

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 ...
