Supplemental oxygen in patients with confirmed myocardial infarction has no clinical benefit irrespective of oxygen saturation levels at baseline, a new analysis of the Determination of the Role of ...

Supplemental oxygen therapy in patients with suspected or confirmed myocardial infarction and normal blood oxygen saturation levels is not associated with any clinical benefit, a new meta-analysis ...

ASPEN – It’s normal for infants born at higher altitudes to have lower oxygen levels in their bloodstreams than do newborns born at sea level, or even in Denver, according to the results of a research ...

Vital signs, those fluorescent green numbers that beep, ding, and dash across black screens on the monitors in hospital rooms, have become a new source of angst during the coronavirus pandemic. One of ...

Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of retinopathy is lower in preterm infants with exposure to reduced levels of oxygenation than in those exposed to higher levels of oxygenation.

Babies whose oxygen saturation levels fluctuate widely and repeatedly are often called "swingers" by NICU nurses. Typically, these babies are on CPAP, a mode of respiratory support that is ...

Some persons have compared the SUPPORT study with studies in the 1950s in which oxygen delivery was restricted without measurement of oxygenation status; this restriction probably created hypoxia and ...

The objective of this study was to compare hand-transcribed oxygen saturation (SpO 2) with electronic oximeter data in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI, <1500 g). Oximeter data were downloaded ...

A multidisciplinary group was established to evaluate oxygen exposure in our neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were assigned target saturation ranges and signal extraction technology implemented ...

Proof-of-principle study: Researchers have demonstrated that smartphones are capable of detecting blood-oxygen saturation levels down to 70%. Subjects place their finger over the camera and flash of a ...
