Patients with COVID-19 who had decreased oxygen saturation or increased respiratory rate at hospital admission had a “markedly elevated” risk for mortality, according to researchers.Based on ...

Two easily measurable signs of health - respiration rate and blood-oxygen saturation - are distinctly predictive of higher mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a study ...

An oxygen saturation rate below 93% (normal is 95% to 100%) has long been taken as a sign of potential hypoxia and impending organ damage.

For adults, the normal range of SaO 2 is 95 – 100%. A value lower than 90% is considered low oxygen saturation, which requires external oxygen supplementation.

Respiratory desaturation occurs when blood oxygen is lower than 95 percent. This can happen for many reasons, but it's especially common with sleep apnea.

A pulse oximeter is a device that clips on your finger, toe, or earlobe to measure blood oxygen saturation. Here's how it works and how to read it.

After Axis monitored the patients’ oxygen saturation, heart rate and general feeling of well-being while exercising with a mask indoors as well as with and without a mask outdoors, Stashick said ...

This is where your breathing stops and starts during the night, which causes a drop in SpO2. Fitbits use the optical heart rate sensor to estimate blood oxygen saturation.

Preoxygenation with a bag-valve-mask device does not reduce the risk for hypoxemia compared with preoxygenation with a facemask, a secondary analysis of two trials shows.
