It is estimated that pneumonia is responsible for 15% of childhood deaths worldwide. Recent research has shown that hypoxia and malnutrition are strong predictors of mortality in children hospitalized ...

Pulse oximetry equipment is largely calibrated using adult patients. This study represents a comprehensive attempt to gain information on the accuracy of pulse oximetry devices in infants and children ...

Pulse oximetry is a means for non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation in blood. It employs an indirect method of assessing these conditions immediately just by clipping a sensor onto your finger ...

Oxygen is among the most frequently administered medical therapies, with a level that is commonly adjusted according to the reading on a pulse oximeter that measures patients’ oxygen saturation.

A healthy blood oxygen level is 75–100 mm Hg, or 95–100%. Low blood oxygen levels, known as hypoxemia, may be a cause for concern. Your blood oxygen level is a measure of how much oxygen your red ...

In this study, 1980 comparisons between the arterial oxygen saturation and pulse oximetry reading were obtained from 225 children. Each patient provided a median of 5 paired readings. In general, the ...
