The Global Oximetry Initiative [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 2007 Summary Global Oximetry (GO) is an initiative launched recently in Uganda, India, the Philippines and Vietnam. The overall aims are to promote oximetry utilisation and reduce oximetry costs in lower income countries. Research objectives include studying the feasibility of cost reduction; overcoming non‐cost barriers to global oximetry

Retinal oximetry is a noninvasive method to evaluate retinal oxygen consumption. By fundus photography at different wavelengths, the differences in light absorption between oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin can be used to calculate the retinal arteriolar and venular oxygen saturation as well as the arteriovenous oxygen saturation difference, which can ...

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022 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
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022 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

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2013 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
Dental Research Journal, 2012 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 ...
