Continuously monitored carotid arterial PO2 (PaO2) and transcutaneous PO2 (tcPO2) from the scalp of fetuses from ewes not in labor have been compared under epidural anesthesia at different levels of fetal oxygenation. A reasonably good correlation existed between the two readings at normal and high PO2 values. In sharp contrast, at low PaO2 levels there was a considerable bias between the two. Since this bias was variable, the failure of tcPO2 to reflect PaO2 accurately at low PaO2 renders the use of the tcPO2 electrode questionable in the very situation for which it was advocated, namely, the prediction of fetal compromise.

Objective: To discover the potential association between diminished intraoperative average SctO levels and postoperative neurodevelopmental delays among patients after pediatric living-donor liver transplantation.
Study Design: Patients undergoing living-donor liver transplantation were recruited for this trial. The neurodevelopment status of patients was assessed using the Ages Stages Questionnaires.

The oxygen reserve index (ORi) is a novel, non-invasive parameter that estimates arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO) during hyperoxia when the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) is elevated. This study aimed to assess the utility of the ORi/FiO ratio as an index for quantifying F-shunt, serving as an estimate of venous admixture. Anesthetic records were reviewed from 44 dogs undergoing general anesthesia and requiring arterial catheterization.

Background: As iatrogenic hyperoxia has been related to adverse outcomes in critically ill patients, guidelines advise to titrate oxygen to physiological levels. In the prehospital setting where partial arterial oxygen (PaO) values are often not readily available, titration of oxygen is based on peripheral oxygen saturations (SpO2). In this study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of SpO guided oxygen titration in the prevention of hyperoxia.

Although alveolar hyperoxia exacerbates lung injury, clinical studies have failed to demonstrate the beneficial effects of lowering the fraction of inspired oxygen (FO) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Atelectasis, which is commonly observed in ARDS, not only leads to hypoxemia but also contributes to lung injury through hypoxia-induced alveolar tissue inflammation. Therefore, it is possible that excessively low FO may enhance hypoxia-induced inflammation in atelectasis, and raising FO to an appropriate level may be a reasonable strategy for its mitigation.
