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...
Background:Preoxygenation is a critical step in the management of airway interventions, especially in critically ill patients undergoing tracheal intubation. This process involves the administration of supplemental oxygen before the induction of anesthesia to increase the oxygen reserves in the lungs, there...
Two central sleep apneas with deep desaturation followed by generalized tonic-clonic seizures were documented. First sleep apnea lasted for 180 seconds and was terminated by epileptic tonic-clonic seizures. The second central sleep apnea with oxygen desaturation of 65% was detected 20 minutes later. ...
8 Patients who are at risk of desaturation during intubation include those with a difficult airway.Benefits of Having High Flow Nasal Cannula Integrated with Your Anesthesia Machine The ability to quickly administer oxygen at a high rate is essential for many patients undergoing anesthesia. Therefore,...
Preoxygenation allows eight minutes to complete tracheal intubation before the oxygen blood saturation starts to fall below 90%. Oxygen desaturation may be more rapid in children and acutely ill patients with respiratory problems. If oxygen saturation falls below 90%, start bag-valve-mask ventilation...
(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=...

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 ...
