A study led by Johns Hopkins University researchers suggests that the use of pulse oximeters in hospitalized COVID-19 patients often overestimated true arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2), especially ...

About The Study: Overestimation of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry led to delayed delivery of COVID-19 therapy and higher probability of readmission regardless of race in this study of 24,000 ...

Lower oxygenation targets for critically ill COVID patients with severe hypoxemia led to significantly more days alive and off life support, a randomized trial conducted at nearly a dozen intensive ...

Pulse oximeters routinely overestimated levels of oxygen in the blood in darker-skinned Covid patients, leading to delays in treatment and hospital readmissions, according to a research article ...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy—giving patients 100% oxygen at a pressure corresponding to 10–20 meters below sea level—has been around for almost 100 years. But the method lacks modern evidence from ...

Noah Greenspan, DPT, discusses how oxygen therapy, detailed evaluation, and trial-and-error approaches may help manage long COVID symptoms. Noah Greenspan, DPT, owner ...
