New Study Investigates the Ability of Masimo ORi™ to Provide Early Warning of Hypoxemia During Endotracheal Intubation in ICU Patients
Noting the importance of optimizing preoxygenation in patients needing ETI, the researchers sought to evaluate whether ORi could provide early warning of impending hypoxemia during the procedure, because ORi supplies information beyond the range explored by SpO2.
- Noting the importance of optimizing preoxygenation in patients needing ETI, the researchers sought to evaluate whether ORi could provide early warning of impending hypoxemia during the procedure, because ORi supplies information beyond the range explored by SpO2.
- Secondarily, the investigators evaluated whether a decline in ORi during preoxygenation predicted the occurrence of mild hypoxemia during ETI.
- The inclusion criteria for this study were ICU admission with a need for ETI and an SpO2/FiO2 ratio above 214.
- Oxygen reserve index for noninvasive early hypoxemia detection during endotracheal intubation in intensive care: the prospective observational NESOI study.
