For any given SaO2, SpO2 readings are higher for those with darker versus lighter skin tone. HealthDay News — Patients with darker skin tones have peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) readings that ...
A total of 11,018 paired SpO2-SaO2 measurements were analysed. All five pulse oximeters returned higher SpO2 values for patients with darker skin tones than patients with lighter skin tones, at any ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...
For patients who had an SaO2 of less than 88%, the cumulative occult hypoxemia rates were 82.0% in Black patients and 70.0% in White patients. Black patients have higher rates of occult hypoxemia ...
