A related condition, orthodeoxia, describes the clinical finding of low oxygen saturation in the upright position, which improves when lying down. [3] Platypnea and orthodeoxia (low oxygen levels when in upright posture) can co-exist, and this combination is named platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome. [4] [5] The syndrome is considered extremely rare ...
The values of SpO2 above 89% are not considered in the calculation of HTi, as such saturation levels do not contribute to the treatment. SpO2 values below 75% count as 75%. HTi is calculated as an integral value of SpO2 readings made with 1 s sampling frequency and divided by 60 in order to produce a “per minute” value.
The body maintains a stable level of oxygen saturation for the most part by chemical processes of aerobic metabolism associated with breathing.Using the respiratory system, red blood cells, specifically the hemoglobin, gather oxygen in the lungs and distribute it to the rest of the body.
Doctors specializing in dementia and Alzheimer’s share the ways they take care of their brain and prevent cognitive decline, including socializing and diet.
The study, which was published in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine in 2021, had nine healthy people use the treadmill, elliptical and rowing machines while researchers measured their fat ...
A pulse oximeter probe applied to a person's finger. A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmogram that may be further processed into other measurements.

The NYPD released new photos of a person of interest they want to speak to in connection to the Dec. 4, 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Dissolved oxygen levels required by various species in the Chesapeake Bay (US). In aquatic environments, oxygen saturation is a ratio of the concentration of "dissolved oxygen" (DO, O 2), to the maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in that water body, at the temperature and pressure which constitute stable equilibrium conditions.
