HYPOXEMIA

This study tested if a special monitor could help prevent dangerous drops in oxygen levels during a common digestive procedure called an ERCP. 80 adult patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard monitoring or standard monitoring plus this special device. The goal …

This study compared two ways to give oxygen to children during sedated upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (a tube exam of the stomach and esophagus). Researchers tested a special procedural oxygen mask against a standard nasal cannula to see which was better at preventing low blood…

This study tested whether a newer high-flow nasal oxygen system works better than standard low-flow oxygen at preventing dangerously low oxygen levels during sedated ERCP procedures. Researchers compared the two methods in 100 adult and elderly patients undergoing this specialize…

This study compared two common anesthesia methods used to keep children still and safe during MRI scans. Researchers tested whether a combination of intravenous drugs (propofol and ketamine) or a gas inhaled through a mask (sevoflurane) led to faster recovery and fewer breathing …

This study tested whether a new type of oxygen mask works better than the standard nasal tube at preventing dangerously low oxygen levels in patients undergoing a specialized digestive scan called ERCP. The procedure often requires deep sedation, which can make breathing difficul…

This study tested whether a special high-flow nasal oxygen device could help prevent low oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy procedures. It focused on 80 patients at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea who were undergoing stomach or colon exams. Researchers compared breathin…

This study compared two ways to measure oxygen levels in ICU patients who needed extra oxygen. Researchers checked if readings from a simple finger clip monitor matched results from more invasive blood tests. The goal was to understand how well these two methods correlate in crit…

This study looked at how the type of finger-clip oxygen monitor (oximeter) and the chosen oxygen target level affect how much oxygen is given to hospitalized patients. It included 40 adults with conditions like COPD or pneumonia who were already on oxygen therapy. Researchers tes…

This study looked at whether doctors followed guidelines to screen for hepatitis B in COVID-19 pneumonia patients before giving them steroid treatment. Researchers wanted to see if this hidden liver virus could reactivate and cause problems during COVID-19 care. They observed nea…
