In a study of mechanically ventilated emergency department (ED) patients, an oxygen titration guideline and educational intervention reduced severe hyperoxemia but increased hypoxemia, with no effect ...
Sanja Jelic, MD, is board-certified in sleep medicine, critical care medicine, pulmonary disease, and internal medicine. A PaO2 test measures oxygen pressure in arterial blood to help guide treatment ...
At 1 year after participants’ ICU stay for acute respiratory failure, mean DLCO was about 5% lower in those who had an ICU oxygenation target of 60 vs 90 mm Hg. Cognitive impairment levels among ...
The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...
ABSTRACT: Importance: The best respiratory support technique to reduce intubation and mortality in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 is controversial. Objective: To determine the ...
Factors significantly associated with PaO2 levels at high altitudes included the individual’s age, target altitude, and time spent at an altitude of at least 1500 meters. In healthy adults who travel ...
Arterial blood gases of PaO2 and PaCO2, pH, vital signs (ie, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure), and chest computed tomography scans were used for follow ...
The human physiology of altitude reflects acute and chronic human acclimatization to hypobaric hypoxia. Athletes and active individuals with cardiovascular disease who are asymptomatic and without ...
Patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplemental oxygen, but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets are unclear. We ...
