SpO2 and PaO2 are both indicators of oxygenation, aren't they? The barrier to entry is likely lower for SpO2, isn't it? From clinics to hospitals, from outpatient to inpatient care, and furthermore, ...

Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...

To evaluate partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fractional percentage of inspired oxygen (PaO2 /FiO2 ) and SaO2 /FiO2 ratios (where SaO2 is percentage of oxyhemoglobin saturation in arterial ...

Problem While SpO2 is a good approximation of SaO2 when saturation is above 90%, this is not necessarily the case at lower saturations (see for example Lebecque, 1991). It is also treated separately ...

It is uncertain whether skin pigmentation affects pulse oximeter accuracy at low HbO2 saturation. The accuracy of finger pulse oximeters during stable, plateau levels of arterial oxygen saturation ...
