This study is designed to answer one of the fundamental gaps in knowledge in the resuscitation of preterm infants at birth: What is the optimal target oxygen saturation (SpO2) range that increases ...

Two easily measurable signs of health - respiration rate and blood-oxygen saturation - are distinctly predictive of higher mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a study ...

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our bodies need a lot of ...

I am a 67-year-old female and recently did an overnight sleep test that showed “light” obstructive sleep apnea, with an AHI number of 8.5. However, oxygen saturation fell below 90% on several moments ...

Proof-of-principle study: Researchers have demonstrated that smartphones are capable of detecting blood-oxygen saturation levels down to 70%. Subjects place their finger over the camera and flash of a ...

As runners, we love our metrics, and 2020 has brought a buzzy new one to the forefront: pulse oximetry. Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 6 on September 18, touting pulse oximetry (or blood oxygen ...

The blood oxygen sensor featured in Apple Watch Series 6 and 7 is “not intended for medical use,” Apple says. That seems odd, considering that low blood oxygen is a serious medical condition. If the ...
