A letter to the editor is presented in response to the article "Oxygen desaturation on swallowing as a potential marker of aspiration in acute stroke" published in a 1995 issue and a response to the letter by the article's authors is offered.Age & Ageing...
In fact, he said, "recent clinical reports reveal that patients with COVID-19 may have significant oxygen desaturation—less than 8%—and yet appear conversant, and not breathless. "For this reason, it would be helpful if those patients were able to monitor their oxygen saturation so that if...
McMillan et al (Lancet Respir Med 2014. pii: S2213-2600(14)70172-9) have reported the results of the PREDICT trial (CPAP in older people with OSA syndrome). This UK trial involved 14 recruiting sites, where consecutive patients aged 65 years or above with an Oxygen Desaturation Index of ...
Frequent oxygen desaturations Most of the time, these babies are extremely premature with a very low birth weight (VLBW) and a significant weight loss within the first 10 days of life. When they reach 2 weeks old, their need for oxygen and ventilatory support also tend to increase. Supplemen...
Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with critical or severe illness were studied at discharge: 77% were below the 2.5th percentile in functional capacity assessed by the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and 15 of 48 had oxygen desaturation. After 3 months only 2 patient had a result above the 50th ...
(HAST), can help determine the need for travel when flying. Alternatively, if one lives near a mountainous area, a portable oximeter can be used to monitor for desaturations (decreased oxygen saturation) while driving at higher altitudes. If any desaturations occur, drive to a lower altitude....
The AD group showed statistically significant higher values of AHI (28.8 ± 20.0 vs 21.9 ± 16.1, p=0.003), apnea index (14.4±15.5 vs 9.9±11.8, p=0.016), 4% oxygen desaturation index (20.6±16.9 vs 15.9±14.6, p=0.019), the prevalence of AHI above 15/hour (69% vs 53%, p=...

[30], smokers presented a higher arousal index, with longer respiratory events and greater desaturations. On the other hand, infants that were exposed to maternal smoking demonstrated reduced arousability from sleep and passive smoking is a recognized risk factor for the development of sudden infant...
