BACKGROUND Intravenously administered indocyanine green (ICG) may cause misreadings of cerebral oximetry and pulse oximetry in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia. The present study determined the effects of two different doses (12.5 mg vs. 25 mg) of ICG on regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) and percutaneous peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2). ...

OBJECTIVE To compare preductal oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR) and cord blood pH after birth in healthy term neonates delivered by elective caesarean delivery (CD) and vaginal delivery (VD), managed according to 2010 Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines. DESIGN In a prospective cohort study, sensors were placed on the right hand of the neonate. SETTING III level Maternity ward of the...

Background  Apnea is one of the most common problems in preterm neonates. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy on the reduction of apnea, bradycardia, and Pulse Oximetry (SPO2) in premature infants. Materials and Methods In a clinical trial study, 60 preterm neonates randomly divided in two groups and exposed to aromatherapy with Rosa damascenes distillate or distilled...

INTRODUCTION Specific inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been shown to significantly attenuate the fall in arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) during exhaustive exercise while breathing a hypoxic gas mixture of 14% oxygen. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of IMT on resting SpO2 over a range of altitudes in healthy individuals. METHODS Resting SpO2 and the Borg Score were...

introduction:  one ofdiagnostic criteria for acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome is  pao2/fio2 (pf) ratio 300 for ali or 200 for ards. this criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. measurement of spo2/fio2 (sf) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the pf ratio.   methods and materials: in a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...

A pulse oximeter model linking arterial (SaO2) and peripheral (SpO2) oxygen saturation is the terminal part of a mathematical neonatal transport. Previous studies have confirmed overestimation measured by oximetry in neonates compared to large variability values over time caused measurement inaccuracies. This work aimed determine SpO2 noise that affects biased value at each point integrate desc...
