(1) Background: COVID-19 can lead to many complications, including cardiorespiratory
complications and dysautonomia. This can be assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) …

Mortality prediction for patients with the severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
supported with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is …

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a significant cause of morbidity and requires
prompt diagnosis and management. The prognosis of affected patients depends on the …

Determining oxygenation targets in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a
challenge. Although oxygenation targets have been used since ARDS was first described …

Background The optimal target oxygen saturation (SpO2) range for hospital inpatients not at
risk of hypercapnia is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the impact on …

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 …

Background Oxygen is a drug with specific properties, a defined dose–effect range and side
effects. In 2015, in a sample of UK hospital patients, 14% were treated with oxygen, of which …
