  • It covers six key clinical areas including assessment of hypoxaemia, oxygen prescription, monitoring, and delivery methods like noninvasive ventilation, along with special considerations such as high oxygen needs and acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.
  • The guidance is structured into a summary, detailed recommendations with practice points, and explanations based on current evidence, aiming for widespread implementation across healthcare settings in Australia and New Zealand.]

SpO₂90%以下を基準とすると、低酸素血症は最大で28%は発見できないと。SpO₂92%を基準とすると低酸素血症を除外できるらしい。。 なんとなく一つの基準としてSpO₂90%以下と思っていたけど変わっていってるんですね。 https://t.co/RenRtI9see
