A PaO2 test measures oxygen pressure in arterial blood to help guide treatment for respiratory issues. This test is part of an arterial blood gas (ABG) test, which also measures other components like ...

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, ...

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 ...

Serious hidden hypoxemia — defined as an SaO2 less than 88% despite an SpO2 of 92% or greater — occurred in 0.6% of the critically ill Asian patients studied. Hypoxemia went undetected in 0.8% of ...
