Abstract Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is associated with increased waitlist mortality in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Children with HPS are granted Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) exception points for waitlist prioritization in the United States based on criterion developed for adults.

Assessing the SpO2 in a random population – Looking for the best among fingers
Context: Pulse oximetry is one of the most revolutionary methods used to monitor the patients in the clinical setting, particularly intensive care and anesthesia. We usually use the index or middle finger to measure SpO2 values, but little is known about

Abstract.Purpose:Malfunction of retinal blood flow or oxygenation is believed to be involved in various diseases. Among them are retinal vessel occlusions, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Reliable, non‐invasive technology for retinal oxygen measurements has been scarce and most of the knowledge on retinal oxygenation comes from animal studies.

Determining the effect of implant surgery on blood oxygen saturation of the adjacent tooth
Background: Implant surgery requires local anesthesia and drilling. This surgery may affect the blood circulation of the adjacent teeth. In this study, we evaluated the blood oxygen saturation of the healthy adjacent tooth with a pulse oximeter, during ...

Effect of using disposable polyethylene bag as a probe cover or finger cover in pulse oximetry
Background: Consumer-grade pulse oximeters are used to monitor blood oxygen levels (SpO2) at home. Sharing a pulse oximeter with family members in isolation centers or home isolation due to COVID-19 may increase the chances of cross-infection.

Study of retinal vessel oxygen saturation in ischemic and non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion [PDF]
AIM: To explore how oxygen saturation in retinal blood vessels is altered in ischemic and non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS: Fifty BRVO eyes were divided into ischemic (n=26) and non-ischemic (n=24) groups, based on fundus ...
