AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of a new monitoring parameter, ORi, for detecting hypoxia in morbidly obese patients undergoing elective surgery, especially compared to the standard pulse oximetry (SpO).
  • - Conducted in a tertiary hospital, the observational study included 102 patients categorized by BMI and monitored their oxygen saturation during the surgical procedure, recording various critical time points for both ORi and SpO.
  • - Results showed that morbidly obese patients had a faster rate of oxygen recovery with ORi (32 seconds) compared to non-obese patients (94 seconds), indicating that ORi may provide quicker alerts for hypoxia compared to traditional SpO methods.

Article Abstract

Background: Pulse oximetry is a standart of anesthesia for perioperative monitoring. Due to the principles of Hb oxygen dissociation curve, peripheral oxygen saturation has an approximate sensitivity and specificity of 90% for the detection of hypoxemia.

Objectives: The primary outcome of the study was to evaluate ORi as an early parameter to determine hypoxia in morbidly obese patients. The secondary outcome was to compare the effectiveness of ORi with SpO in non-obese patients.

Design: Prospective, observational study.

Setting: Department of elective operating room at tertiary hospital.

Patients And Methods: Observational study included written informed consent from 51 patients with 19 < BMI < 25 kg/m and 51 patients with BMI > 40 kg/m undergoing an elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation. In addition to standard monitors, an ORi sensor was placed and baseline values were recorded. The patients were preoxygenated until end tidal expiratory oxygen concentration is reached to 90%. After anesthesia induction and tracheal intubation, the breathing circuit was not connected tracheal tube until the SpO decreased to 95%. Shapiro-Wilk, Pearson Chi-square, t-test, and Mann Whitney U test were used for the study.

Main Outcome Measures: Times of tolerable apnea, ORi and SpO values at the end of preoxygenation, beginning of intubation, beginning of the ORi alarm, when SpO reached 95%, and when ORi reaches a plateau.

Sample Size: 102 patients.

Results: The alert period: time to reach ORi from 0.24 to a value of 95% SpO was observed as 32 s in morbidly obese patients and 94 s in patients with a normal body mass index. The SpO alert period was determined as time difference between 97% and 95% SpO. The data were recorded as 15 s and 36 s, respectively. It was observed that tolerable apnea, ORi, SpO and added alert times were longer in patients with normal BMI compared to morbidly obese patients.

Conclusions: As a result, ORi can provide an early warning to prevent unexpected hypoxia before saturation begins to decrease in morbidly obese patients.

Limitations: Inability to perform arterial blood gas sampling in the time periods when we looked at the parameters to determine the relationship between ORi and PaO.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a multisystem disorder in which dysregulated neuroimmune crosstalk and inflammatory relay via the gut-blood-brain axis have been implicated in PD pathogenesis. Although alterations in circulating inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with PD, no biomarkers have been identified that predict clinical progression or disease outcome. Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, which involves perturbation of the underlying immune system, is an early and often-overlooked symptom that affects up to 80 % of individuals living with PD.

Objectives: A conservative oxygenation strategy is recommended in adult and pediatric guidelines for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome to reduce iatrogenic lung damage. In the recently reported Oxy-PICU trial, targeting peripheral oxygen saturations (Spo2) between 88% and 92% was associated with a shorter duration of organ support and greater survival, compared with Spo2 greater than 94%, in mechanically ventilated children following unplanned admission to PICU. We investigated whether this benefit was greater in those who had severely impaired oxygenation at randomization.

This study investigated the predictive value of combining peripheral blood indicators with procalcitonin clearance rate (PCTc) to assess mortality risk in cancer patients with sepsis, aiming to develop a more sensitive and specific clinical tool. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 393 cancer patients with sepsis admitted to South China Hospital of Shenzhen University from January 2019 to January 2024. Collected data included clinical demographics, laboratory indicators such as white blood cell count, neutrophil count (NEUT), platelet count (PLT), lymphocyte count (LYC), C-reactive protein, procalcitonin (PCT), alanine aminotransferase, and the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to inspired oxygen fraction, as well as functional scores like Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
