If the medical chart says "pH 7.32, PaCO2 50, PaO2 65, HCO3 24, BE 0," how would you explain this patient's condition? I think many people look at the numbers but honestly don't fully understand them.
Have you ever had an experience like this in the ICU or an acute care ward? When SpO2 dropped, the only thing you could think of was 'let's take a break for now.' Even when shown blood gas values, you ...
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 ...
The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...
ABSTRACT: Importance: The best respiratory support technique to reduce intubation and mortality in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 is controversial. Objective: To determine the ...
Medical terms like blood oxygen, spO2 levels, and oxygen saturation became more popular during the peak COVID-19 pandemic. The Delta variant had taken a massive toll on the population, leading to ...

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 ...
In the past blood gas analysis and interpretation was performed primarily at university and large referral hospitals. In the past blood gas analysis and interpretation was performed primarily at ...
