Pulse oximetry reference values at high altitude.
Pulse oximetry is becoming popular for measuring oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in paediatric patients. There are no reference values for children living at high altitudes, and the aim of this study was to determine the values of oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in healthy children in Bogota (2640 m above sea level). The saturation was determined in 189 children aged 5 days to 24 months with ...
متن کاملReference values for pulse oximetry at high altitude.
OBJECTIVE To determine reference values for oxygen saturation (Sao2) in healthy children younger than 5 years living at high altitude. DESIGN One hundred and sixty eight children were examined for Sao2 at 4018 m during well child visits. Physiological state was also noted during the examination. RESULTS The mean Sao2 was 87.3% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 86.7%, 87.9%) with a median value...
متن کاملPulse oximetry at high altitude.
Pulse oximetry is a valuable, noninvasive, diagnostic tool for the evaluation of ill individuals at high altitude and is also being increasingly used to monitor the well-being of individuals traveling on high altitude expeditions. Although the devices are simple to use, data output may be inaccurate or hard to interpret in certain situations, which could lead to inappropriate clinical decisions...
متن کاملHIGH LIFE: High altitude fatalities led to pulse oximetry.
In 1875, Paul Bert linked high altitude danger to the low partial pressure of oxygen when 2 of 3 French balloonists died euphorically at about 8,600 m altitude. World War I fatal crashes of high altitude fighter pilots led to a century of efforts to use oximetry to warn pilots. The carotid body, discovered in 1932 to be the hypoxia detector, led to most current physiologic understanding of the ...
متن کاملSpirometry reference values for an andean high-altitude population
We compared the spirometric values of people living at High Altitude at the Andean Plateau with those predicted for lowland population. RATIONALE Spirometry reference values are not yet available for the millions of people living at high altitude in the Andean High Plateau. OBJECTIVE To obtain spirometric prediction equations from a healthy subset of adults living in Argentina at 3440m abov...
