Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in elderly diabetic patients presents unique challenges in risk assessment and prognosis prediction. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine ...

Sanja Jelic, MD, is board-certified in sleep medicine, critical care medicine, pulmonary disease, and internal medicine. A PaO2 test measures oxygen pressure in arterial blood to help guide treatment ...

Currently, the treatment of anemia in preterm infants is based on packed red blood cell (RBC) transfusions from adult donors. Oxygen (O2) is mainly transported to the tissues bound to hemoglobin (Hb).

Objective Recent studies have shown that blood urea nitrogen to creatinine (BUN/Cr) ratio might be an effective marker for the prognosis of patients with respiratory diseases. Herein, we aimed to ...

Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...

For the MIMIC-III database, we identified unique ICU encounters (icustay_id) with mechanical ventilation status. We next identified the lab event PaO 2 and chart ...

Patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplemental oxygen, but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets are unclear. We ...

Background: A major contributor to unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is secondary brain injury. Low brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) has shown to be an independent predictor of ...

A blood gas test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. The test can also show blood pH levels and lung function. It is also called an arterial blood gas test or a blood gas analysis.

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.
