Lunedì, Dicembre 11, 2023

ORi is trended continuously with SpO2 as a unit-less index between 0.00 and 1.00 to extend the visibility of the patient oxygenation beyond SpO2 under supplemental oxygen.

Key Points: 
  • ORi is trended continuously with SpO2 as a unit-less index between 0.00 and 1.00 to extend the visibility of the patient oxygenation beyond SpO2 under supplemental oxygen.
  • During anesthesia, ORi was monitored using Masimo RD rainbow SET® Pulse CO-Oximetry sensors, and blood gas analysis was performed 15 minutes after OLV was initiated.
  • Of the 11 potential predictors for PaO2
  • The researchers concluded, “ORi values during one-lung ventilation were significantly correlated with PaO2 measured simultaneously.

“Premature infants are at risk of respiratory distress, and oxygen monitoring is critical to their care so that they can leave hospitals and go home,” Guler said.

Key Points: 
  • “Premature infants are at risk of respiratory distress, and oxygen monitoring is critical to their care so that they can leave hospitals and go home,” Guler said.
  • “Some tools widely used at home to monitor oxygenation, however, do not accurately measure oxygen levels in infants with pigmented skin tones.
  • A separate study of 294 premature infants showed that pulse oximetry consistently underestimated oxygen levels and hypoxemia, or abnormally low oxygen levels, in Black infants compared to White infants .
  • In addition, Guler said, pulse oximetry fails to detect excessive oxygenation, or oxygen poisoning, in infants who receive oxygen therapy.
