Oxygen saturation in adults with acute asthma.
Avoidable deaths from asthma continue. Some of these result from the difficulty in determining the severity of an acute asthma attack at the initial assessment. This study evaluated the relation of pulse oximetry with other markers of severity in 46 patients attending an accident and emergency (A&E) department with acute asthma. Neither oxygen saturation nor peak flow correlated with length of ...
متن کامل"Acute" asthma in adults.
Forty-four adult patients with acute severe asthma were studied on admission to a general hospital to determine the mode of presentation and clinical severity of the acute illness. Most patients described poorly controlled wheezing for a mean period of five weeks before a more rapid deterioration, usually over 24 hours, caused them to seek medical attention. The clinical severity of the acute a...
متن کاملArterial blood gas analysis or oxygen saturation in the assessment of acute asthma?
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to determine if arterial blood gas estimation is always necessary in the assessment of patients presenting to hospital with acute severe asthma, or whether oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry is a reliable screening test for predicting those in respiratory failure. METHODS A prospective study was conducted in a specialist respiratory medical unit....
متن کاملTime course of change in oxygen saturation and peak expiratory flow in children admitted to hospital with acute asthma.
The time course for recovery of the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in acute childhood asthma is unknown. Serial measurements of SaO2 were made in 47 children during an acute attack of asthma that required admission to hospital. Adequate serial peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements were possible in 28 children (mean age 8.3 years; group A), but not in the other 19 children (mean age 3.2 yea...

results roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 94% can predict hypoxemia (pao2 < 60 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95%. furthermore, there are associations between the roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 97% and detection of hypoxemia (pao2 < 70 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 46%. the accuracy of pulse oximetry was not affected by the severity of liver disease...
