background pain management with the use of sedatives and analgesics has several advantages and few complications or side effects. objectives in this study, we planned to evaluate the effects of pain control on oxygen saturation independent of other factors, such previous cardio-pulmonary conditions or respiratory rate. patients and methods sixty-seven adult patients with direct trauma to extrem...

Pulse oximetry has been one of the most significant technological advances in clinical monitoring in the last two decades. Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive photometric technique that provides information about the arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate, and has widespread clinical applications. When peripheral perfusion is poor, as in states of hypovolaemia, hypothermia and vaso...

introduction: this study aimed to investigate the effect of music on pain, anxiety and vital signs in children undergoing colonoscopy.   method and materials: this randomized study was carried out on 101 children (7 to 14 years old) requiring colonoscopy. children were randomly allocated to a control or case group. the case group was played relaxing music (by clayderman) during the procedure. s...

background: today, endoscopic evaluation of digestive system is an important diagnostic approach in gastrointestinal diseases. as it is an invasive method, it causes fear and anxiety in patients. the current study was fulfilled to evaluate the effect of music therapy during endoscopy on the anxiety of patients by measuring blood pressure. methods: this is an experimental study of single blind c...

Background: Venipuncture is one of the most painful and common interventions in Neonatal ward. A preterm infant can not cope long-lasting physiologic stresses; therefore, the pain caused by blood sampling may change the infant’s physiologic responses to the stress. This present study aim is to investigated and compare physiologic changes (pulse rate and oxygen saturation) in two sites of blood ...

www.ajcconline.org • BACKGROUND Pulse oximetry is commonly used to monitor oxygenation in neonates, but cannot detect variations in hemoglobin. Venous and arterial oxygen saturations are rarely monitored. Few data are available to validate measurements of oxygen saturation in neonates (venous, arterial, or pulse oximetric). • PURPOSE To validate oxygen saturation displayed on clinical monitors ...

OBJECTIVES Near-infrared spectroscopy monitors cerebral oxygen saturation. This parameter parallels jugular venous oxygen saturation and reflects the balance between cerebral oxygen supply and demand. Experience with near-infrared spectroscopy in univentricular physiology is limited. This study explores the relationship between cerebral oxygen saturation, jugular venous oxygen saturation, and o...

OBJECTIVE This prospective study aimed to characterize the changes in blood lactate concentration and blood oxygen saturation in patients during the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 35 patients in a rapid and random order from the arterial line and from the proximal and distal port of a pulmonary arter...
