A study led by Johns Hopkins University researchers suggests that the use of pulse oximeters in hospitalized COVID-19 patients often overestimated true arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2), especially ...

About The Study: Overestimation of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry led to delayed delivery of COVID-19 therapy and higher probability of readmission regardless of race in this study of 24,000 ...

Severe COVID-19 pneumonia often requires high concentrations of oxygen, which can potentially lead to oxidative stress and lung injury. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different oxygen ...

As a rule, caregivers in the United States and most of the developed world take oxygen availability for granted. Oxygen orders are placed, and the patient receives the requested amount. However, as ...

Lower oxygenation targets for critically ill COVID patients with severe hypoxemia led to significantly more days alive and off life support, a randomized trial conducted at nearly a dozen intensive ...
