Filter by:By introducing pulse oximetry, with or without clinical decision support algorithms, to primary care facilities in India, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania, the Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) project aims to contribute to reducing morbidity and mortality for sick children under-five while supporting the rational and efficient use of diagnostics and medicines by healthcare providers. The multi-country, multi-method evaluation aims to generate evidence on the health and quality of care impact, operational priorities, cost and cost-effectiveness of introducing these tools to facilitate national and international decision-making on scale-up.
The BOTTOMLINE-CS trial is an international, open, single-center, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial to investigate whether multisite tissue oxygen saturation monitoring-guided perioperative care reduces composite complications within 30 days of randomization in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
This study aimed to present a proof-of-concept that a 30 minutes single-session of low-field thoracic magnetic stimulation (LF-ThMS) on the dorsal thorax can be employed to increase oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) participants significantly. The investigators (Saul M. Dominguez-Nicolas and Elias Manjarrez) hypothesized that the variables associated with LF-ThMS, as hyperthermia, frequency, and magnetic flux density in the dorsal thorax, might be correlated to SpO2 levels in these participants. The investigators designed a single-blind, sham-controlled, crossover study on COVID-19 participants who underwent two sessions of the study (real and sham LF-ThMS), and other COVID-19 participants who underwent only the real LF-ThMS.
This study is designed to answer questions related to safety and preliminary efficacy of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors. First, we aim to establish whether brief reductions in inhaled oxygen concentration can be safely tolerated in TBI survivors. Second, we aim to establish whether there are any effects of AIH on memory, cognition, and motor control. Participants will be monitored closely for any adverse events during these experiments. Data will be analyzed to determine if there is an improvement in key outcomes at any dose level.
The purpose of the study is to assess the optimal fraction of inspired oxygen (0.5 or 1) for extubation or removal of a supraglottic airway device after general anesthesia.
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate maternal-fetal tissue light scattering properties. The objectives of the study are: (i) integrate established mathematical principles of oxygen saturation to model with increasing accuracy the "body in a body" problem of fetus in mother; similar to existing pulse oximeters, the calculations will be integrated into software in the final commercial product; (ii) obtain human measurements against which both computational models and animal data can be compared.
In many patients, respiratory Sars-Cov2 infection causes arterial hypoxemia, which remains without signs of verbalized respiratory distress, up to a point. This phenomenon, called "happy" or "silent" hypoxemia, has a plural pathophysiological basis. Hypoxemia has been shown to be predictively associated with admission to the ICU. Therefore, the question of constant monitoring of oxygenation, practiced on a large scale, at home, in asymptomatic patients or contact cases, arises. A large number of portable pulse oximeter are currently freely available on the market; however, their clinical validation remains sometimes doubtful, or even absent from FDA standards. The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of SpO2 values provided by portable pulse oximeter in COVID patients, in comparison with the reference method. The study will be conducted on a population of adult patients with COVID, hospitalized in the ICU, for whom gasometry sampling is already scheduled in the usual management.
There is concern that wearing a face mask during COVID will affect oxygen uptake, especially during intense exercise. COVID transmission is especially prevalent in sports such as hockey, where there is close contact between players and arena ventilation is poor. This study will assess the effect of wearing a surgical face mask on simulated hockey performance and blood and muscle oxygenation during cycling exercise.
This study was a comparative, single-center, non-randomized study conducted to evaluate the SpO2 accuracy per standards and guidelines identified above for SpO2 accuracy for pulse oximetry equipment over the range of 70-100% SaO2 under non-motion conditions. Arterial blood sampling measured by functional SaO2 CO-Oximetry, was used as the basis for comparison. Testing was conducted under normal office environment conditions.
The availability of oxygen is a crucial prognostic indicator for outcomes pertinent to many chronic diseases. Accordingly, interventions that might increase oxygen availability have obvious beneficial clinical application. In this regard, Respirogen Micro-Oxygen (RMO) technology holds considerable promise. Data from experimental animal models of lung injury suggest administration of RMO is a feasible method to deliver oxygen in a manner independent of pulmonary function. Our ultimate long-term goal is to provide a product that can be used to deliver oxygen to humans experiencing respiratory distress and pulmonary dysfunction In this first exploratory study, our goal is to begin to understand the physiological responses to enteral (rectal) delivery of RMO in low-oxygen environments in healthy adults at rest.
