Pulse carboxyhemoglobin-oximetry and cigarette smoking.
PURPOSE We used a pulse carbon monoxide (CO)-oximeter to measure the levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in smokers and non-smokers. Our goal was to determine if this device could not only define smoking status, but also to increase accuracy of self-reported data at various surveys on smoking. METHODS Thirty-four healthy volunteers participated in this study. Twenty-two of them were current da...
متن کاملrole of pulse oximetry in detecting mild to moderate hepatopulmonary syndrome in children
background : hepatopulmonary syndrome (hps) refers to arterial hypoxemia caused by pulmonary vasodilation, which is a consequence of portal hypertension. hps is associated with increased morbidity and mortality; thus, it is important to diagnose this entity as soon as possible for treatment to be administered. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, 40 children (6 months to 14 years ...
متن کاملRole of Pulse Oximetry in Detecting Mild to Moderate Hepatopulmonary Syndrome in Children
INTRODUCTION Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is de ned as a triad of chronic liver diseases and/or portal hypertension, gas exchange defects (increased alveolar-arterial PO2 difference regardless of the presence of arterial hypoxemia), and intrapulmonary vascular dilatation(1). Patients of all ages can be affected; however there is a frequency of 4% to 32% among patients with chronic liver disea...
متن کاملHepatopulmonary syndrome in patients with chronic liver disease: role of pulse oximetry
BACKGROUND Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare complication of liver diseases of different etiologies and may indicate a poor prognosis. Therefore, a simple non-invasive screening method to detect HPS would be highly desirable. In this study pulse oximetry was evaluated to identify patients with HPS. METHODS In 316 consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis (n = 245), chronic hepatitis (n...
متن کاملScreening of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) with CEUS and pulse-oximetry in liver cirrhosis patients eligible for liver transplant.
BACKGROUND AND AIM The prevalence of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the setting of cirrhosis ranges between 4%-47%. We aimed to detect a correlation between heart and lungs findings on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)and pulse-oximetry, in order to early detect HPS and thus to improve patients referral to orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT). METHODS We considered at risk for HPS all p...
