RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Hypoxaemia occurs frequently during paediatric laryngeal microsurgery. OBJECTIVE: The oxygen reserve index is a noninvasive and continuous parameter to assess PaO2 levels in the range of 100 to 200âmmHg. It ranges from 0 to 1.0. We investigated whether monitoring the oxygen reserve index can reduce the incidence of SpO2 90% or less. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial. SETTING: A tertiary care paediatric hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Paediatric patients aged 18âyears or less scheduled to undergo laryngeal microsurgery. INTERVENTION: The patients were randomly allocated to the oxygen reserve index or control groups, and stratified based on the presence of a tracheostomy tube. Rescue intervention was performed when the oxygen reserve index was 0.2 or less and the SpO2 was 94% or less in the oxygen reserve index and control groups, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The primary outcome was the incidence of SpO2 90% or less during the surgery. RESULTS: Data from 88 patients were analysed. The incidence of SpO2 ≤â90% did not differ between the oxygen reserve index and control groups [Pâ=â0.114; 11/44, 25% vs. 18/44, 40.9%; relative risk: 1.27; and 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94 to 1.72]. Among the 128 rescue interventions, SpO2 ≤â90% event developed in 18 out of 75 events (24%) and 42 out of 53 events (79.2%) in the oxygen reserve index and control groups, respectively (Pâ<â0.001; difference: 55.2%; and 95% CI 38.5 to 67.2%). The number of SpO2 ≤â90% events per patient in the oxygen reserve index group (median 0, maximum 3) was less than that in the control group (median 0, maximum 8, Pâ=â0.031). CONCLUSION: Additional monitoring of the oxygen reserve index, with a target value of greater than 0.2 during paediatric airway surgery, alongside peripheral oxygen saturation, did not reduce the incidence of SpO2 ≤â90%.

Gastroenterology nurses working across a variety of clinical settings are responsible for periprocedural monitoring during moderate to deep procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to identify signs of respiratory compromise and intervene to prevent cardiorespiratory events. Pulse oximetry is the standard of care for respiratory monitoring, but it may delay or fail to detect abnormal ventilation during PSA. Continuous capnography, which measures end-tidal CO2 as a marker of alveolar ventilation, has been endorsed by a number of clinical guidelines. Large clinical trials have demonstrated that the addition of continuous capnography to pulse oximetry during PSA for various gastroenterological procedures reduces the incidence of hypoxemia, severe hypoxemia, and apnea. Studies have shown that the cost of adding continuous capnography is offset by the reduction in adverse events and hospital length of stay. In the postanesthesia care unit, continuous capnography is being evaluated for monitoring opioid-induced respiratory depression and to guide artificial airway removal. Studies are also examining the utility of continuous capnography to predict the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression among patients receiving opioids for primary analgesia. Continuous capnography monitoring has become an essential tool to detect early signs of respiratory compromise in patients receiving PSA during gastroenterological procedures. When combined with pulse oximetry, it can help reduce cardiorespiratory adverse events, improve patient outcomes and safety, and reduce health care costs.

Significance: Questions about the accuracy of pulse oximeters in measuring arterial oxygen saturation ( SpO 2 ) in individuals with darker skin pigmentation have resurfaced since the COVID-19 pandemic. This requires investigation to improve patient safety, clinical decision making, and research. Aim: We aim to use computational modeling to identify the potential causes of inaccuracy in SpO 2 measurement in individuals with dark skin and suggest practical solutions to minimize bias. Approach: An in silico model of the human finger was developed to explore how changing melanin concentration and arterial oxygen saturation ( SaO 2 ) affect pulse oximeter calibration algorithms using the Monte Carlo (MC) technique. The model generates calibration curves for Fitzpatrick skin types I, IV, and VI and an SaO 2 range between 70% and 100% in transmittance mode. SpO 2 was derived by inputting the computed ratio of ratios for light and dark skin into a widely used calibration algorithm equation to calculate bias ( SpO 2 - SaO 2 ). These were validated against an experimental study to suggest the validity of the Monte Carlo model. Further work included applying different multiplication factors to adjust the moderate and dark skin calibration curves relative to light skin. Results: Moderate and dark skin calibration curve equations were different from light skin, suggesting that a single algorithm may not be suitable for all skin types due to the varying behavior of light in different epidermal melanin concentrations, especially at 660 nm. The ratio between the mean bias in White and Black subjects in the cohort study was 6.6 and 5.47 for light and dark skin, respectively, from the Monte Carlo model. A linear multiplication factor of 1.23 and exponential factor of 1.8 were applied to moderate and dark skin calibration curves, resulting in similar alignment. Conclusions: This study underpins the careful re-assessment of pulse oximeter designs to minimize bias in SpO 2 measurements across diverse populations.

BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea syndrome, characterized by recurrent cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) of breathing during sleep, is a major risk factor for postoperative respiratory depression. Challenges in sleep apnea assessment have led to the proposal of alternative metrics derived from oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), such as oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of cumulative sleep time spent with SpO2 below 90% (CT90), as predictors of postoperative respiratory depression. However, their performance has been limited with area under the curve of 0.60 for ODI and 0.59 for CT90. Our objective was to propose novel features from preoperative overnight SpO2 which are correlated with sleep apnea severity and predictive of postoperative respiratory depression. METHODS: Preoperative SpO2 signals from 235 surgical patients were retrospectively analyzed to derive seven features to characterize the sleep apnea severity. The features included entropy and standard deviation of SpO2 signal; below average burden characterizing the area under the average SpO2; average, standard deviation, and entropy of desaturation burdens; and overall nocturnal desaturation burden. The association between the extracted features and sleep apnea severity was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the predictive performance of the features in identifying postoperative respiratory depression. RESULTS: Our findings indicated a similar performance of the proposed features to the conventional apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) for assessing sleep apnea severity, with average area under the curve ranging from 0.77 to 0.81. Notably, entropy and standard deviation of overnight SpO2 signal and below average burden showed comparable predictive capability to AHI but with minimal computational requirements and individuals' burden, making them promising for screening purposes. Our sex-based analysis revealed that compared to entropy and standard deviation, below average burden exhibited higher sensitivity in detecting respiratory depression in women than men. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the potential of preoperative SpO2 features as alternative metrics to AHI in predicting postoperative respiratory.

BACKGROUND: Monitoring blood oxygenation is essential in immobilised rhinoceros, which are susceptible to opioid-induced hypoxaemia. This study assessed the reliability, clinical performance and trending ability of the Nonin PalmSAT 2500 A pulse oximeter's and the Masimo Radical-7 pulse co-oximeter's dual-wavelength technology, with their probes placed at two measurement sites, the inner surface of the third-eyelid and the scarified ear pinna of immobilised white rhinoceroses. Eight white rhinoceros were immobilised with etorphine-based drug combinations and given butorphanol after 12 min, and oxygen after 40 min, of recumbency. The Nonin and Masimo devices, with dual-wavelength probes attached to the third-eyelid and ear recorded arterial peripheral oxygen-haemoglobin saturation (SpO2) at pre-determined time points, concurrently with measurements of arterial oxygen-haemoglobin saturation (SaO2), from drawn blood samples, by a benchtop AVOXimeter 4000 co-oximeter (reference method). Reliability of the Nonin and Masimo devices was evaluated using the Bland-Altman and the area root mean squares (ARMS) methods. Clinical performance of the devices was evaluated for their ability to accurately detect clinical hypoxemia using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and measures of sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Trending ability of the devices was assessed by calculating concordance rates from four-quadrant plots. RESULTS: Only the Nonin device with transflectance probe attached to the third-eyelid provided reliable SpO2 measurements across the 70 to 100% saturation range (bias - 1%, precision 4%, ARMS 4%). Nonin and Masimo devices with transflectance probes attached to the third-eyelid both had high clinical performance at detecting clinical hypoxaemia [area under the ROC curves (AUC): 0.93 and 0.90, respectively]. However, the Nonin and Masimo devices with transmission probes attached to the ear were unreliable and provided only moderate clinical performance. Both Nonin and Masimo devices, at both measurement sites, had concordance rates lower than the recommended threshold of ≥ 90%, indicating poor trending ability. CONCLUSIONS: The overall assessment of reliability, clinical performance and trending ability indicate that the Nonin device with transflectance probe attached to the third-eyelid is best suited for monitoring of blood oxygenation in immobilised rhinoceros. The immobilisation procedure may have affected cardiovascular function to an extent that it limited the devices' performance.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the performance of the fabian-Predictive-Intelligent-Control-of-Oxygenation (PRICO) system for automated control of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). DESIGN: Multicentre randomised cross-over study. SETTING: Five neonatal intensive care units experienced with automated control of FiO2 and the fabian ventilator. PATIENTS: 39 infants: median gestational age of 27 weeks (IQR: 26-30), postnatal age 7 days (IQR: 2-17), weight 1120 g (IQR: 915-1588), FiO2 0.32 (IQR: 0.22-0.43) receiving both non-invasive (27) and invasive (12) respiratory support. INTERVENTION: Randomised sequential 24-hour periods of automated and manual FiO2 control. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportion (%) of time in normoxaemia (90%-95% with FiO2>0.21 and 90%-100% when FiO2=0.21) was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints were severe hypoxaemia (<80%) and severe hyperoxaemia (>98% with FiO2>0.21) and prevalence of episodes ≥60 s at these two SpO2 extremes. RESULTS: During automated control, subjects spent more time in normoxaemia (74%±22% vs 51%±22%, p<0.001) with less time above and below (<90% (9%±8% vs 12%±11%, p<0.001) and >95% with FiO2>0.21 (16%±19% vs 35%±24%) p<0.001). They spent less time in severe hyperoxaemia (1% (0%-3.5%) vs 5% (1%-10%), p<0.001) but exposure to severe hypoxaemia was low in both arms and not different. The differences in prolonged episodes of SpO2 were consistent with the times at extremes. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the ability of the PRICO automated oxygen control algorithm to improve the maintenance of SpO2 in normoxaemia and to avoid hyperoxaemia without increasing hypoxaemia.

BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization's recommendation, delayed cord clamping in term newborns can have various benefits. Cochrane metaanalyses reported no differences for mortality and early neonatal morbidity although a limited number of studies investigated long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. The aim of our study is to compare the postnatal cerebral tissue oxygenation values in babies with early versus delayed cord clamping born after elective cesarean section. METHODS: In this study, a total of 80 term newborns delivered by elective cesarean section were included. Infants were randomly grouped as early (clamped within 15 s, n:40) and delayed cord clamping (at the 60th second, n:40) groups. Peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate were measured by pulse oximetry while regional oxygen saturation of the brain (rSO2) was measured with near-infrared spectrometer. Fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) was calculated for every minute between the 3rd and 15th minute after birth. (FTOE = pulse oximetry value-rSO2/pulse oximetry value). The measurements were compared for both groups. RESULTS: The demographical characteristics, SpO2 levels (except postnatal 6th, 8th, and 14th minutes favoring DCC p < 0.05), heart rates and umbilical cord blood gas values were not significantly different between the groups (p > 0.05). rSO2 values were significantly higher while FTOE values were significantly lower for every minute between the 3rd and 15th minutes after birth in the delayed cord clamping group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a significant increase in cerebral rsO2 values and a decrease in FTOE values in the delayed cord clamping (DCC) group, indicating a positive impact on cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics. Furthermore, the DCC group exhibited a higher proportion of infants with cerebral rSO2 levels above the 90th percentile. This higher proportion, along with a lower of those with such parameter below the 10th percentile, suggest that DCC may lead to the targeted/optimal cerebral oxygenetaion of these babies. As a result, we recommend measuring cerebral oxygenation, in addition to peripheral SpO2, for infants experiencing perinatal hypoxia and receiving supplemental oxygen.

BACKGROUND: Pleural effusions in post-operative thoracic surgery patients are common. Effusions can result in prolonged hospitalizations or readmissions, with prior studies suggesting mixed effects of pleural drainage on hypoxia. We aimed to define the impact of pleural drainage on pulse oximetry (SpO2) in post-thoracic surgery patients. METHODS: A retrospective study of post-operative thoracic surgery patients undergoing pleural drainage was performed. SpO2 and supplemental oxygen (FiO2) values were recorded at pre- and post-procedure. The primary outcome was difference in pre-procedural and post-procedural SpO2. RESULTS: We identified 95 patients with a mean age of 65 (SD - 13.8) years undergoing 122 pleural drainage procedures. Mean drainage volume was 619 (SD-423) mL and the majority of procedures (88.5 %) included a drainage of <1000 mL. SpO2 was associated with an increase from 94.0 % (SD-2.6) to 97.3 % (SD-2.0) at 24-h (p < 0.0001). FiO2 was associated with a decrease from 0.31 (SD-0.15) to 0.29 (SD-0.12) at 24-h (p = 0.0081). SpO2/FiO2 was associated with an increase from 344.5 (SD-99.0) to 371.9 (SD-94.7) at 24-h post-procedure (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Pleural drainage within post-operative thoracic surgery patients offers statistically significant improvements in oxygen saturation by peripheral pulse oximetry and oxygen supplementation; however the clinical significance of these changes remains unclear. Pleural drainage itself may be requested for numerous reasons, including diagnostic (fevers, leukocytosis, etc.) or therapeutic (worsening dyspnea) evaluation. However, pleural drainage may offer minimal clinical impact on pulse oximetry in post-operative thoracic surgery patients.

BACKGROUND: Long-haul flights have been associated with a two- to four-fold increased risk of aviation-related thrombosis (ART). Several studies have investigated the extent to which hypoxic hypobaric exposure, dehydration and prolonged immobilisation during air travel induce changes in haemostasis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of high altitude as a risk factor for ART. METHODS: Healthy volunteers aged ≥18 years (N=40), without risk factors for venous thromboembolism, were exposed to an exacerbated altitude of 18 000 feet (5 486 m) for 1 hour. During the flight, the oxygen (O2) levels of the participants, who received supplemental O2, were measured by pulse oximetry and maintained at >92%. Venous blood and urine samples were collected prior to departure and immediately after flying in an unpressurised twin-engine airplane. D-dimer levels, thromboelastography (TEG) parameters, von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity and urine osmolality were measured. RESULTS: The participants were 19 men and 21 women, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 46 (14) years. A significant difference in D-dimer levels, VWF activity, urine osmolality and TEG parameters (reaction (R) time, kinetic (K) time and maximum amplitude (MA)) before and after the 1-hour flight was observed (p<0.001). Urine osmolality correlated positively with VWF activity levels (r=0.469; p<0.002). CONCLUSION: Air travel at high altitude induced a hypercoagulable state in healthy volunteers. Future research should focus on whether thromboprophylaxis can significantly obviate the activation of coagulation in response to high altitude.

BACKGROUND: Rett syndrome is a progressive neurological disorder associated to several comorbidities that contribute significantly to impair lung function. Respiratory morbidity represents a major cause of death in this population. Little is known about the benefit of noninvasive ventilation. METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled patients with Rett syndrome who underwent a pneumological evaluation combined with a cardiorespiratory polygraphy and/or a pulse oximetry and capnography from 2012 to 2022. RESULTS: Medical records of 11 patients with Rett syndrome, mean age 13 ± 6 years, were evaluated. Most patients presented with both epilepsy and scoliosis. Five patients showed a pathologic sleep study and/or impaired night gas exchange: mean obstructive apnea-hypopnea index was 4 ± 3 events/hour; mean and minimal SpO2 were, respectively, 93% ± 2% and 83% ± 6%, while mean and maximal transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring (PtcCO2) were, respectively, 51 ± 5 mm Hg and 55 ± 8 mm Hg; and mean oxygen desaturation index was 13 ± 11 events/hour. These patients started noninvasive ventilation with clinical benefit and improved gas exchange mostly in terms of PtcCO2 (mean PtcCO2 51 ± 5 mm Hg before and 46 ± 6 mm Hg after noninvasive ventilation). CONCLUSIONS: Noninvasive ventilation is a suitable option for patients with Rett syndrome.

INTRODUCTION: Hypoxemia is a common complication of childhood respiratory tract infections and non-respiratory infections. Hypoxemic children have a five-fold increased risk of death compared to children without hypoxemia. In addition, there is limited evidence about hypoxemia and clinical predictors in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the prevalence and clinical predictors of hypoxemia among children with respiratory distress admitted to the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. METHODS: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2020 to May 2021 in northwest Ethiopia. A total of 399 study participants were selected using systematic random sampling. The oxygen saturation of the child was measured using Masimo rad-5 pulse oximetry. SPSS version 21 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULT: In this study, the prevalence of hypoxemia among children with respiratory distress was 63.5%. The clinical signs and symptoms significantly associated with hypoxemia were: head-nodding (AOR: 4.1, 95% CI: 1.81-9.28) and chest indrawing (AOR: 3.08, 95% CI: 1.32-7.16) which were considered statistically the risk factors for hypoxemia while inability to feed (AOR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.02-0.77) was the protective factor for hypoxemia. The most sensitive predictors of hypoxemia were fast breathing with sensitivity (98.4%), nasal flaring (100.0%), chest indrawing (83.6%), and intercostal retraction (93.1%). The best specific predictors of hypoxemia were breathing difficulty with specificity (79.4%), inability to feed (100.0%), wheezing (83.0%), cyanosis (98.6%), impaired consciousness (94.2%), head-nodding (88.7%), and supra-sternal retraction (96.5%). CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The prevalence of hypoxemia among children was high. The predictors of hypoxemia were the inability to feed, head nodding, and chest indrawing. It is recommended that the health care settings provide immediate care for the children with an inability to feed, head nodding, and chest indrawing. The policymakers better to focus on preventive strategies, particularly those with the most specific clinical predictors.

Pulse oximeters are widely used in hospitals and homes for measurement of blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and heart rate (HR). Concern has been raised regarding a possible bias in obtaining pulse oximeter measurements from different fingertips and the potential effect of skin pigmentation (white, brown, and dark). In this study, we obtained 600 SpO2 measurements from 20 volunteers using three UK NHS-approved commercial pulse oximeters alongside our custom-developed sensor, and used the Munsell colour system (5YR and 7.5YR cards) to classify the participants' skin pigmentation into three distinct categories (white, brown, and dark). The statistical analysis using ANOVA post hoc tests (Bonferroni correction), a Bland-Altman plot, and a correlation test were then carried out to determine if there was clinical significance in measuring the SpO2 from different fingertips and to highlight if skin pigmentation affects the accuracy of SpO2 measurement. The results indicate that although the three commercial pulse oximeters had different means and standard deviations, these differences had no clinical significance.

Significance: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) promises to measure spatially resolved blood oxygen saturation but suffers from a lack of accurate and robust spectral unmixing methods to deliver on this promise. Accurate blood oxygenation estimation could have important clinical applications from cancer detection to quantifying inflammation. Aim: We address the inflexibility of existing data-driven methods for estimating blood oxygenation in PAI by introducing a recurrent neural network architecture. Approach: We created 25 simulated training dataset variations to assess neural network performance. We used a long short-term memory network to implement a wavelength-flexible network architecture and proposed the Jensen-Shannon divergence to predict the most suitable training dataset. Results: The network architecture can flexibly handle the input wavelengths and outperforms linear unmixing and the previously proposed learned spectral decoloring method. Small changes in the training data significantly affect the accuracy of our method, but we find that the Jensen-Shannon divergence correlates with the estimation error and is thus suitable for predicting the most appropriate training datasets for any given application. Conclusions: A flexible data-driven network architecture combined with the Jensen-Shannon divergence to predict the best training data set provides a promising direction that might enable robust data-driven photoacoustic oximetry for clinical use cases.

This study develops machine learning-based algorithms that facilitate accurate prediction of cerebral oxygen saturation using waveform data in the near-infrared range from a multi-modal oxygen saturation sensor. Data were obtained from 150,000 observations of a popular cerebral oximeter, Masimo O3™ regional oximetry (Co., United States) and a multi-modal cerebral oximeter, Votem (Inc., Korea). Among these observations, 112,500 (75%) and 37,500 (25%) were used for training and test sets, respectively. The dependent variable was the cerebral oxygen saturation value from the Masimo O3™ (0-100%). The independent variables were the time of measurement (0-300,000 ms) and the 16-bit decimal amplitudes values (infrared and red) from Votem (0-65,535). For the right part of the forehead, the root mean square error of the random forest (0.06) was much smaller than those of linear regression (1.22) and the artificial neural network with one, two or three hidden layers (2.58). The result was similar for the left part of forehead, that is, random forest (0.05) vs logistic regression (1.22) and the artificial neural network with one, two or three hidden layers (2.97). Machine learning aids in accurately predicting of cerebral oxygen saturation, employing the data from a multi-modal cerebral oximeter.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prognostic significance of tissue oximetry in healing of trophic defects in patients with diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) after endovascular revascularization. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In 42 patients with DFS, tissue oximetry was performed in angiosome projection with the FORE-SIGHT MC-2000 (CASMED) device before and the next day after revascularization of lower limb arteries. The 1st group included 30 patients with wound healing throughout 3 months, the 2nd group included 12 patients with amputation or no healing of trophic defects. RESULTS: Direct revascularization was more common in the 1st group (p=0.001). On the day after intervention, oxygen saturation (StO2) increased in all angiosomes in both groups (p<0.05). StO2 increment differed significantly between groups in all angiosomes except for point I (p<0.05). According to ROC analysis, StO2 increment by 4.5% in absolute values and 7.9% in percentage leads to trophic defect healing within 3 months (sensitivity and specificity were 76.7% and 66.7% for absolute values, 80% and 58.3% for percentage, respectively). CONCLUSION: Evaluation of StO2 in target angiosome may be valuable to predict trophic defect healing after endovascular surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the application value of portable pulse oximeter in adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: This study prospectively enrolled adult patients who underwent polysomnography (PSG) due to snoring at the Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Department of Peking University People's Hospital from July 2022 to July 2023. During PSG monitoring, CS-WOxi was continuously used to monitor blood oxygen levels. The consistency between 3% oxygen desaturation index (ODI3) measured by portable pulse oximeter and ODI3 of polysomnography was evaluated using difference test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Bland-altman method. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal threshold for diagnosing OSA. Results: A total of 184 subjects were included, including 121 males (65.8%) and 63 females (34.2%). The mean age was 46.0 (34.3, 59.0) years, body mass index was 26.0 (23.3, 29.6) kg/m², and the apnea-hypopnea index was 18.2 (5.8, 40.8) events/h. There was a significant difference between CS-ODI3 and PSG-ODI3 [17.1(6.2, 42.7) vs. 14.0(2.9, 32.6), P<0.001], and the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.93 (P<0.001). There was a good correlation between CS-ODI3 and PSG-AHI (r=0.92, P<0.001). Bland-Altman consistency test showed that the average difference between the two was 0.7 events/h, and the 95% consistency limit was (-17.9, 19.3 events/h). When the CS-ODI3≥5 events/h was used to identify OSA, the sensitivity was 94.4%, the specificity was 80.0%, and the accuracy was 91.3%. When PSG-AHI≥5 events/h was used as the diagnostic criteria, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.933. Conclusion: Portable pulse oximeter can monitor pulse oxygen saturation accurately and has good sensitivity and specificity for OSA high-risk patients, and is a reliable tool for OSA screening.

The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Surgical Pleth Index (SPI), a validated nociception monitor in human anaesthesia, in dogs. The technology uses a plethysmographic signal from a specific pulse oximetry probe to analyse pulse wave amplitudes and heartbeat intervals. Twenty-six healthy dogs anaesthetised for castration were included. SPI, invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were continuously monitored. The occurrence or resolution of a haemodynamic reaction (HDR), defined as a > 20% increase in HR and/or MAP, was assessed at predefined times: cutaneous incision, testicles' exteriorization, cutaneous suture, and fentanyl administration. Following nociceptive events, the dogs presenting a HDR showed a significant 8% and 10% increase in SPI at 3 and 5 min respectively, whereas after fentanyl administration, a 13% and 16% significant decrease in SPI were noted. Receiver operating characteristic curves analysis indicated a moderate performance for the dynamic variations of SPI over 1 min to predict a HDR (AUC: 0.68, threshold value: +15%) or its resolution after fentanyl administration (AUC of 0.72, threshold value: -15%) within 3 min. The SPI varied according to perioperative nociceptive events and analgesic treatment; however, its performance to anticipate a HDR was limited with high specificity but low sensivity. Refinement of the algorithm to specifically accommodate for the canine species may be warranted. Further studies are required to evaluate the influence of other factors on the performance of this index.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is useful in a variety of neonatal settings. Currently, available reference values are from small numbers and highly variable. METHODS: We sought to generate reference values of PPI by analysing previously collected data from newborns who underwent mandated universal pulse oximetry and PPI screening from 2018 to 2021 using uniform protocol and equipment. Q-Q plots and boxplots were used to visualise distributions. Kernel density estimation for heaped and rounded data was used to estimate percentiles of the distributions. RESULTS: Data from 388 205 newborns who underwent universal pulse oximetry screening in the first week of life were used for this analysis. Pre and postductal values showed a non-normal distribution and skewed to the left, the former had a thicker tail with more extreme values. Minor, but statistically significant differences were seen in the PPI values from day 1 to 7. Median preductal PPI (2.77, IQR:1.83-3.93) was significantly higher than postductal (2.38 IQR: 1.41-3.55) (p<0.01). PPI values increased with weight and boys had higher PPI. Kernel estimates of the percentiles in the overall sample and subgroups for gender and weight have been provided for preductal and post-ductal values. CONCLUSION: This study, based on the largest available dataset, provides reference values for PPI in newborns. A significant influence of gender and birth weight on PPI values in newborns has been identified. Future research on understanding the influence of age, sex, birth weight, gestational age, ambient temperature and genetic factors on PPI is recommended.

Background: Pulse oximeters noninvasively measure blood oxygen levels, but these devices have rarely been designed for low-resource settings and are inconsistently available at outpatient clinics. Objective: The Phefumla project aims to develop and validate a pediatric smartphone-based pulse oximeter designed specifically for this context. We present the process of human-centered oximeter design with health care workers in South Africa. Methods: We purposively sampled 19 health care workers from 5 clinics in Khayelitsha, Cape Town. Using a human-centered design approach, we conducted participatory workshops with four activities with health care workers: (1) they received 3D-printed prototypes of potential oximeter designs to provide feedback; (2) we demonstrated on dolls how they would use the novel oximeter; (3) they used pile sorting to rank design features and suggest additional features they desired; and (4) they designed their preferred user interface using a whiteboard, marker, and magnetized features that could be repositioned. We audio recorded the workshops, photographed outputs, and took detailed field notes. Analysis involved iterative review of these data to describe preferences, identify key design updates, and provide modifications. Results: Participants expressed a positive sentiment toward the idea of a smartphone pulse oximeter and suggested that a pediatric device would address an important gap in outpatient care. Specifically, participants expressed a preference for the prototype that they felt enabled more diversity in the way it could be used. There was a strong tendency to prioritize pragmatic design features, such as robustness, which was largely dictated by health care worker context. They also added features that would allow the oximeter device to serve other clinical functions in addition to oxygen saturation measurement, such as temperature and respiratory rate measurements. Conclusions: Our end user-centered rapid participatory approach led to tangible design changes and prompted design discussions that the team had not previously considered. Overall, health care workers prioritized pragmatism for pediatric pulse oximeter device design.

BACKGROUND: Micro- and macrovascular diseases are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and may be partly caused by nocturnal hypoxemia. The study aimed to characterize the composition of nocturnal hypoxemic burden and to assess its association with micro- and macrovascular disease in patients with T2D. METHODS: This cross-sectional analysis includes overnight oximetry from 1247 patients with T2D enrolled in the DIACORE (DIAbetes COhoRtE) study. Night-time spent below a peripheral oxygen saturation of 90% (T90) as well as T90 associated with non-specific drifts in oxygen saturation (T90non - specific), T90 associated with acute oxygen desaturation (T90desaturation) and desaturation depths were assessed. Binary logistic regression analyses adjusted for known risk factors (age, sex, smoking status, waist-hip ratio, duration of T2D, HbA1c, pulse pressure, low-density lipoprotein, use of statins, and use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors) were used to assess the associations of such parameters of hypoxemic burden with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a manifestation of microvascular disease and a composite of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) reflecting macrovascular disease. RESULTS: Patients with long T90 were significantly more often affected by CKD and CVD than patients with a lower hypoxemic burden (CKD 38% vs. 28%, p < 0.001; CVD 30% vs. 21%, p < 0.001). Continuous T90desaturation and desaturation depth were associated with CKD (adjusted OR 1.01 per unit, 95% CI [1.00; 1.01], p = 0.008 and OR 1.30, 95% CI [1.06; 1.61], p = 0.013, respectively) independently of other known risk factors for CKD. For CVD there was a thresholdeffect, and only severly and very severly increased T90non-specific was associated with CVD ([Q3;Q4] versus [Q1;Q2], adjusted OR 1.51, 95% CI [1.12; 2.05], p = 0.008) independently of other known risk factors for CVD. CONCLUSION: While hypoxemic burden due to oxygen desaturations and the magnitude of desaturation depth were significantly associated with CKD, only severe hypoxemic burden due to non-specific drifts was associated with CVD. Specific types of hypoxemic burden may be related to micro- and macrovascular disease.
