Patients with darker skin tones have peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings that are higher than patients with a ...

This large prospective UK study compared five low-cost fingertip pulse oximeters with arterial blood gas measurements and found that readings varied systematically by skin tone and oxygen saturation ...

Two studies suggest both under- and over-estimation of blood oxygen levels ...

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 ...

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, ...

Abstract: COVID-19 prognosis using clinical tabular data faces significant challenges due to missing values and class imbalance issues. Existing methods often overlook the complex high-order ...

Purpose: This study investigated cognitive impairment in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by evaluating the utility of sleep apnea-specific hypoxic burden (SASHB) and sleep breathing ...

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 ...

Abstract: Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) seriously affects human sleep, so it is necessary to find the disease as early as possible. However, most of traditional models use convolutional neural ...
