Degree of Hypoxia and Physiological Differences Between Fast and Slow Ascents to Very High Altitude

Oxygen
Introduction: Rapid ascent to altitudes of over 5000 m above sea level are associated with dramatic changes in adaptive physiology. The effects of a gradual ascent on symptoms, oximetry, and heart rate are described and compared with the effects of a ...

Occurrence of Hypoxemia the First Day After Trauma Assessed by Continuous Pulse Oximetry. [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
ABSTRACT Background Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability in young adults. Although supplemental oxygen is recommended early after trauma to prevent hypoxemia, evidence regarding the occurrence and distribution of hypoxemic episodes, to raise awareness on potential clinical implications, is sparse.

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.
