The oxygen desaturation index (ODI) measures how often and how much your blood oxygen level drops while you sleep. A normal ODI is fewer than five desaturation episodes per hour of sleep, and anything ...

The "area under the curve of oxygen desaturation" (AUCDesat) may provide a more sophisticated approach to monitoring blood oxygen levels during procedures using sedation, according to a study.

Scant data have been published on the oxygenation and safety measures required for the aeromedical transport of infants. Current guidelines recommend avoidance of air travel for infants younger than 1 ...

Long-term treatment with supplemental oxygen has unknown efficacy in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and resting or exercise-induced moderate desaturation. A total 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 ...

Long-term oxygen therapy not beneficial for COPD with moderate desaturation. Long-term supplemental oxygen has no benefit in patients with stable COPD and resting or exercise-induced moderate ...

What is a desaturation detection circuit? A desaturation fault detection circuit provides protection for power semiconductor switches (IGBT or MOSFETs) against short-circuit current events which may ...
