Pulse oximetry guides the management of respiratory conditions through non-invasively monitoring arterial oxygen saturation. Unstable haemoglobin variants may produce inaccurate readings. We describe ...

Oxygen saturation at 6 minutes improved with oxygen use, but perceived exertion scores (Borg dyspnea index) did not change.

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our bodies need a lot of ...

Two easily measurable signs of health - respiration rate and blood-oxygen saturation - are distinctly predictive of higher mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a study ...

A new update for the Charge 4 is rolling out, which will let users view blood oxygen saturation from the wrist. The update – spotted by 9to5Google – is part of a large package of new Charge 4 features ...

The technique sounds so outlandish that it won an IgNobel prize in 2024. But the science behind rescuing people with blocked airways and clogged lungs by rectally delivering oxygen to the body is no ...

Higher oxygen saturation targets are linked with greater progression in some cases of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but the incidence remains stable. Increased oxygen saturation targets in ...

Physiological studies have shown that chronic hypoxemia may occur in preterm infants who require supplemental oxygen for extended periods and that this hypoxemia may contribute to poor growth and ...

Apple's new Apple Watch Series 6 goes all-in on health care, including a new feature to measure blood oxygen level-- a vital sign that's been helpful monitoring COVID-19, among other things. Other ...
