Healthcare professionals have developed several methods for monitoring people's overall health and wellbeing during a regular checkup. Many of these measure substance concentrations or saturations in ...

Optimising home oxygen delivery in infants has important logistical and safety implications. This can be aided by having a suitable reference range of normal values for arterial oxygen saturation ...

Blood oxygen levels refer to the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels fall between 75 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) on arterial blood gas (ABG) test results.

The clinically appropriate range for oxygen saturation in preterm infants is unknown. Previous studies have shown that infants had reduced rates of retinopathy of prematurity when lower targets of ...

Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of retinopathy is lower in preterm infants with exposure to reduced levels of oxygenation than in those exposed to higher levels of oxygenation.

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A major UK study shows that commonly used home pulse oximeters can overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin, increasing the risk of undetected hypoxemia and raising ...
