Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...
Problem While SpO2 is a good approximation of SaO2 when saturation is above 90%, this is not necessarily the case at lower saturations (see for example Lebecque, 1991). It is also treated separately ...
Studies on SaO2 are hard to come by. But most people seem to be above 86%. As we have more than enough SaO2-SpO2 pairs, I would go for a very specific cut-off, accepting a low sensitivity. As such I ...
Introduction Clinicians often obtain peripheral saturation (SpO2) readings by placing a finger probe sensor on the patient’s earlobe when a reading cannot be obtained from the finger. The accuracy of ...
Aim Accurate measurement of Hb saturation is essential in the care of children with sickle cell disease (SCD). The gold standard of Hb saturation measurement is by ABG with co-oximetry.
Quickly measured without a blood draw, pulse oximetry or SpO2 indicates the estimated oxygen saturation of red blood cells. It is an indirect measure, calculated through a clip-on fingertip device ...
