A new device that uses near-infrared light to non-invasively monitor the oxygenation of the brain during surgery appears to be a promising alternative to the more invasive techniques currently in use, ...

Oxygen is among the most frequently administered medical therapies, with a level that is commonly adjusted according to the reading on a pulse oximeter that measures patients’ oxygen saturation.

Pulse oximetry is a means for non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation in blood. It employs an indirect method of assessing these conditions immediately just by clipping a sensor onto your finger ...

ARTERIAL oxygenation during apnea may now be studied with greater accuracy. The recent development of the polarograph 1–3 has made it possible to obtain direct arterial-oxygen-tension determinations ...

Oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin that is bound to molecular oxygen at a given time point. It is an important parameter for managing patients in a clinical setup. Oxygen ...

The healing of wounds is dependent upon oxygen. Living tissue needs oxygen and nutrients to thrive, and with wounds, it is needed to regenerate healthy tissue. Oxygen is involved in numerous ...

Masimo will debut the SpfO 2 and the rainbow ® SuperSensor at the American Society of Anesthesiologists' 2012 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., tomorrow. Until now, pulse oximeters could only ...

You may need a blood gas (ABG) test to measure the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. It may also be used to determine the pH of the blood, or how acidic it is. A blood gas test ...
