A 25-year-old Caucasian man with a history of spherocytosis, splenectomy, recurrent blood transfusion, and no cardiopulmonary disease presented for an emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a ...
To evaluate partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fractional percentage of inspired oxygen (PaO2 /FiO2 ) and SaO2 /FiO2 ratios (where SaO2 is percentage of oxyhemoglobin saturation in arterial ...
Introduction: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common among patients with cardiovascular disease, but its impact on physiologic responses to exercise remains unclear. Hypothesis: We sought to ...
Introduction: After cardiac arrest (CA), the American Heart Association recommends weaning inspired oxygen (FiO2) “to achieve an arterial oxygen saturation [SaO2]≥94%...to avoid potential oxygen ...
Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...
Abstract: The paper proposes the diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS) only using snore sound and SaO2 signals. The time-frequency characteristics of snore sound signal are extracted to ...
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 ...
