Introduction Patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and pneumonitis often have
hypoxemic respiratory failure and a need of supplementary oxygen. Guidelines recommend …

Objective We examined weather a protocol for fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) adjustment
can reduce hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in COVID-19 patients mechanically …

Background The current target oxygen saturation range for patients with COVID-19
recommended by the National Institutes of Health is 92–96%. Main body This article critically …

Background Supplemental oxygen is the key intervention for severe and critical COVID‐19
patients. With the unstable supplies of oxygen in many countries, it is important to define the …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry-derived oxygen
saturation (SpO 2) on room air, determined at hospital admission, as a predictor for the need …

Background Management of hypoxemia in patients with severe COVID-19 respiratory failure
is based on the guideline recommendations for specific SpO 2 targets. However, limited data …

PURPOSE: COVID-19 can lead to hypoxemia as a result of damage due to inflammatory
responses to SARS-CoV-2 in the respiratory system. Persistent post-COVID syndrome, may …

Non-invasive oxygen saturation (SpO2) is a central vital sign used to shape the
management of COVID-19 patients. Yet, there have been no report quantitatively describing …

Background: When treating acute respiratory failure, both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia
should be avoided. SpO 2 should be monitored closely and O 2 flows adjusted accordingly …

Oxygen is a low-cost and life-saving therapy for patients with COVID-19. Yet, it is a limited
resource in many hospitals in low income countries and in the 2020 pandemic even …
