Alarm level for SpO2: differences between SpO2 and SaO2

Correlation between the levels of SpO2 and PaO2

Exercise peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) accurately reflects arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and predicts mortality in systemic sclerosis.

BACKGROUND Measures of oxygenation have not been assessed for prognostic significance in systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). METHODS 83 subjects with SSc-ILD performed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test with an arterial line. The agreement between peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) was examined and survival differences be...

The acute effect of smoking a single cigarette on vascular status, SpO2, and stress level

BACKGROUND Tobacco use is a major cause of cardiovascular and respiratory disease and cancer. It is controversial whether smoking helps relieve stress. This study investigated the acute effect of smoking a single cigarette on vascular status, SpO2, and stress level. MATERIAL AND METHODS 38 non-smokers and 29 smokers were selected as subjects to measure BVOP (Blood Vessel Output Power), BVT (B...

Comparison of SpO2 values from different fingers of the hands

Pulse oximetry is a frequently used tool in anesthesia practice. Gives valuable information about arterial oxygen content, tissue perfusion and heart beat rate. In this study we aimed to provide the comparison of peripheral capillary hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) values among every finger of the two hands. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers from operative room stuffs between the ages of 18-3...

PETCO2 e SpO2 Permitem Ajuste Ventilatório Adequado em Pacientes Obesos Mórbidos * PETCO2 and SpO2 Allow Adequate Ventilatory Adjustment in Morbidly Obese Patients

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Apesar das diversas propostas ventilatórias para anestesia em pacientes obesos mórbidos, um consenso não foi estabelecido. Este estudo avaliou o ajuste ventilatório nestes pacientes durante anestesia baseado na oximetria e capnografia. MÉTODO: O consentimento prévio foi obtido da Comissão de Ética e dos pacientes. Excluíram-se tabagistas e portadores de doença cardíac...
