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 urgent questions about ...

In the EXAKT study from the U.K., the home-use pulse oximeters assessed all gave higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings for patients with darker skin tones than for patients with lighter skin tones.

动脉血气分析是危重症患者必不可少的检查手段，可用来判断机体是否存在酸碱平衡失调、判断通气换气功能、缺氧及缺氧程度等等。此外还需要结合其他检查，结合临床动态观察，才能正确判断患者的体内环境。掌握各项指标的含义，这样有助于对异常指标的 ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that quantitatively defines the relationships between the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and ...

准确评估机体有无缺氧及严重程度具有重要意义。目前缺氧状态是根据低氧血症的标准来判断，但循环性、血液性和组织性这三种缺氧类型都不会出现低氧血症，实际上仅适用于评估呼吸系统疾病所致的低张性（呼吸性）缺氧的情况。该文从缺氧的类型、与低氧 ...
