Prehospital pulse oximetry: a red flag for early detection of silent hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients Romain Jouffroy, Daniel Jost and Bertrand Prunet Critical Care 2020 24:313 Research Letter Neutrophil Elastase Inhibitors: A potential prophylactic treatment option for SARS-CoV-2-induced respiratory co...
During patient motion, however, the venous blood also moves, causing conventional pulse oximeters to read low values, because they cannot distinguish between the arterial and venous blood movement (sometimes referred to as noise). Masimo SET® pulse oximetry utilizes parallel engines and adaptive ...
Consider this possible limitation of pulse oximetry for appropriate patient presentations. Prone positioning appears helpful if hypoxemia worsens despite intubation and ventilation. ICU patients have high rates of clots (DVT, PE and thrombotic events [CVA, MI]). Anticoagulation is prophylactical...

infection with the following exceptions: 1) the panel recommends against the use of molnupiravir (anti-viral) due to concern of fetal teratogenicity in animal studies and 2) no formal recommendation for the use of therapeutic anticoagulation in those without evidence of venous thromboembolism [170...
Fio2 indicates fraction of inspired oxygen; Paco2, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide; Pao2, partial pressure of arterial oxygen; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PSV, pressure support ventilation; and Spo2, peripheral oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry. Figure 2. ...
Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who progressed to severe disease, defined as the hypoxic stage requiring supplemental oxygen to maintain pulse oximetry oxygen saturation of 95% or higher. Secondary outcomes of the trial included the rates of mechanical ven...

Central venous oxygen saturation calculated by gasometry (Gaso-Scvo2) is more available than central venous oxygen saturation measured by co-oximetry (Co-oxy-Scvo2) in environments with less resources and underdeveloped countries. Therefore, we aimed to determine the agreement between Co-oxy-Scvo...
