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, ...

What Is an Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG)? An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood. It also measures your body’s acid-base (pH) level, which is usually ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...

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 ...
