Reducing oxygen levels in critically ill children on mechanical ventilators in intensive care could save tens of young lives each year, finds a new study led by researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Ad The study published inThe Lancet, also found that lower levels of oxygen would...
children at high altitudeSchult, Sandra, and Carlos Canelo-Aybar. Oxygen saturation in healthy chidren aged 5 to 6 years residing in Huayllay, Peru, at 4340m. High Alt. Med. Biol. 12:89–92, 2011.—Hypoxemia is a major life-threatening complication of childhood pneumonia. The threshold ...
We examined the relationship between oxygen consumption (VO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) over a range of metabolic demand in two groups of children. We studied 15 children after cardiac surgery (plasma lactate levels < 2.2 mmol/L, VO2 < 6 ml/min per kilogram, oxygen extraction ratio < 25...
The benefits are: decrease in hospitalizations, optimization of physical growth and neurological development, improvement of exercise tolerance and quality of sleep, and prevention of pulmonary hypertension/cor pulmonale. The levels of oxygen saturation indicative for oxygen therapy differ from those ...
Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP), intracellular reactiveoxygenspecies (ROS)levels,and theleveloflipid peroxidation were determined by Rhodamine 123, 2′,7′- dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) and thiobarbituric acid reaction method respectively. ...

Oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) between 95 to 100 percent are considered normal for both adults and children (below 95% is considered abnormal). People over 70 years of age may have oxygen levels closer to 95%.
Furthermore, children received a double-barreled nasal oxygen cannula to measure end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2) and allow oxygen administration. Chloral hydrate was administered in the parent’s presence. Children had no intravenous access which is an advantage of sedation techniques. In both ...
Distinct Impact of Imatinib on Growth In Prepubertal and Pubertal Children with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia 2277 Imatinib is now widely used for treating chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in children as well as in adults, and long-term adverse effects of imatinib therapy in children are ...
Oxygen therapy Oxygen therapy In adults, start oxygen at 5 litres/minute(l/min) by nasal cannula. If critically ill, consider starting with higher flow rates (10-15 l/min) using a face mask with reservoir bag, if resources allow.In children, start nasal cannula at 1-2 l/min or 0.5...
