The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...

Landmark studies of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) used partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) to define severe hypoxemia, however pulse ...

Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurement of regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rcStO2) has become a topic of high interest in neonatology. Multiple studies have demonstrated that rcStO2 ...

Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is a principal oxygen carrier in the blood of preterm and term neonates. Compared to adult hemoglobin, it has a significantly higher affinity for oxygen and its oxyhemoglobin ...

MW = molecular weight (g/mol); nON = no. of hydrogen bond acceptor; nOHNH = no. of hydrogen bond donors; Nrot = no. of rotatable bonds; TPSA = total polar surface area; MLogP = predicted octanol/water ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that quantitatively defines the relationships between the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and ...
