Pulse oximetry in sickle cell disease.
Patients with sickle cell disease usually have mild hypoxaemia and their oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve is shifted to the right. It follows that oxygen saturation in sickle cell disease should be lower than normal. Most subjects in this clinic had normal oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry, however. To improve the understanding of this paradox, arterialised capillary oxygen tension (PO2) and...
متن کاملPulse oximetry and factors associated with hemoglobin oxygen desaturation in children with sickle cell disease.
The observation of low transcutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in otherwise well sickle cell patients has lead to questions about the interpretation of pulse oximetry values in these patients. We undertook a prospective study of children with sickle cell disease to (1) determine the prevalence of, and factors associated with, low transcutaneous SaO2 in clinically well patients, (2) dev...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...

the risk of sickle cell complications that is a common hemoglobin disorder in Southwest Iran. This study aimed at determining the incidence of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and other Hemoglobinopathies in newborn being at risk based on ethnic origin. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive epidemiologic study, between September 2013 and September 2015, 8363 newborn blood samples were test...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry
The principal advantage of optical sensors for medical applications is their intrinsic safety since there is no electrical contact between the patient and the equipment. (An added bonus is that they are also less suspect to electromagnetic interference). This has given rise to a variety of optical techniques to monitor physiological parameters: for example, the technique of Laser Doppler veloci...
