Nocturnal oxygen therapy for patients with COPD and isolated nocturnal oxygen desaturation does not improve survival or delay disease progression, according to findings published September 17 in The ...

Obese patients may experience more severe blood oxygen desaturation during apnea and hypopnea events, researchers say. Body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with the severity of oxygen ...

Recent studies strongly suggest that nocturnal oxygen desaturation in children with sickle cell anemia is associated with an increase incidence of pain and stroke. However, no relationship has been ...

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 ...

In fibrotic ILD, desaturation recovery post 6MWT is linked to disease progression, baseline disease severity, and transplant-free survival.

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 ...
