Summary: Blood oxygen saturation is an important clinical parameter for postoperative hospitalized patients. Current monitoring methods, such as arterial blood gas and pulse oximetry, are not suitable for long-term continuous monitoring. Recent technological advances in consumer-grade fitness trackers could potentially fill this gap, but their applicability and accuracy in hospitalized patients have not been well studied.

Summary: Current guidelines recommend using a cardiac monitor during neonatal resuscitation. Infants assigned to a novel electrocardiogram algorithm had a faster heart rate compared to the conventional algorithm. Although the resuscitation outcomes did not differ, the availability of an earlier heart rate may be beneficial for neonatal providers during high-risk resuscitations.

Summary: The Newborn Screening Programme for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Shanghai has been successfully implemented and has contributed to reducing infant mortality. This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of the programme and provided encouraging evidence and experience for nationwide implementation in China.

Summary: Hypoxemia is a major contributing factor to mortality in critically ill patients, including those with conditions like brain injury, cardiac arrest, and COVID-19. The SWIFT deep learning model can accurately predict blood oxygen saturation waveforms in the future, providing valuable information for clinical interventions and patient management.

Summary: Hypoxemia, a dangerous complication of respiratory diseases, can be diagnosed using a smartphone camera after a software update. This study validated a smartphone camera-based SpO(2) sensing system using a wide range of SpO(2) values and built a deep learning model with high accuracy.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical feasibility of a novel continuous physiological monitoring technology in African healthcare facilities. The results showed that the technology performed well in monitoring heart rate and temperature, but had relatively poor performance in monitoring respiratory rate and oxygen saturation.

Summary: An extended newborn critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening program using oximetry has been implemented in Taipei, Taiwan since April 2014. This study analyzed data from 30 birthing facilities, representing 87.9% of live births in Taipei, and found that the screening protocol was efficient and effective.

Summary: In high-risk surgical patients, ORI provides clinically relevant added warning time of impending desaturation compared to Spo(2). This additional time may allow modification of airway management, earlier calls for help, or assistance from other providers. The potential patient safety impact of such monitoring requires further study.

Summary: Automated activation of the RRT significantly reduced CPR events and rates, improved CPR success rate, reduced hospital length of stay and mortality, but increased the number of RRT activations. There were no differences in unplanned ICU admission or readmission.

Summary: This study aims to assess disparities in hypoxemia detection using pulse oximetry among self-identified racial groups and its associations with clinical outcomes. The study found that black patients were more likely to experience occult hypoxemia compared to white patients and that occult hypoxemia was associated with increased mortality.
