NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Racial biases persist in the use of pulse oximetry devices for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) requiring very high levels of oxygen support, a ...
At 1 year after participants’ ICU stay for acute respiratory failure, mean DLCO was about 5% lower in those who had an ICU oxygenation target of 60 vs 90 mm Hg. Cognitive impairment levels among ...
ABSTRACT: Background: There is a paucity of data on the efficacy of ventilatory strategies in COVID-19-related ARDS. The aim of this study was to describe the effect of positive end-expiratory ...

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 ...
Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is an essential skill for medical professionals, especially in assessing a patient’s respiratory health. This article will provide a ...
The P/F ratio, also known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, is a valuable tool for evaluating oxygenation status in critically ill patients. It is commonly used to determine the severity of acute respiratory ...
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 ...
Another week, another disparity of care. In this case, it's attributable to a measure known to be flawed: pulse oximetry. Does the flaw lie solely in the tool – or how it is used? Let’s take a deeper ...
