Physiological studies have shown that chronic hypoxemia may occur in preterm infants who require supplemental oxygen for extended periods and that this hypoxemia may contribute to poor growth and ...

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 ...

Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of retinopathy is lower in preterm infants with exposure to reduced levels of oxygenation than in those exposed to higher levels of oxygenation.

Oxygen is essential for adequate cellular functioning and highly specialized systems have developed to maintain a delicate balance during conditions of relatively low to high levels of oxygen ...

Supplemental oxygen in patients with confirmed myocardial infarction has no clinical benefit irrespective of oxygen saturation levels at baseline, a new analysis of the Determination of the Role of ...

Respiratory desaturation, known as hypoxemia in medical terms, is when you have low blood oxygen saturation. Your blood oxygen saturation is a measure of how much oxygen is in your blood. A normal ...
