Comparison of invasive and noninvasive saturation monitoring in prescribing oxygen during exercise in COPD patients

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether it is possible using ear-oximetry to prescribe the correct oxygen flow rates during exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients on long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT).Twenty COPD patients on LTOT, with exercise desaturation breathing oxygen at resting flow rates, performed a series of 6-min treadmill walking tests, with a progressive increase in oxygen flows until oxygen saturation measured by ear-or pulse-oximetry (Sp,O 2 ) was above 90%. The ex… Show more

“…The presence of high carboxyhemoglobin values in heavy smokers could disturb the SpO2 reading by the pulse oximeter [22]. Many patients with lung cancer have some degree of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition in which SpO2 may not accurately represent arterial oxygen saturation [23]. Furthermore, the small sample size, heterogeneity of therapeutic approaches, and absence of full data on pulmonary comorbidity or carboxyhemoglobin values limit generalization of our model.…”

“…[3] can be nonzero since arterial blood is not necessarily fully oxygenated (typically, arterial saturation is 95% to 98% (20)), thus Δχ a > 0, typically holds for the susceptibility difference between arterial blood and reference tissue. However, in some pathologic conditions, such as in hypoxemia (insufficient oxygenation of arterial blood), for instance due to pulmonary insufficiency, arterial oxygen saturation is <90% (21). The angular and position dependence of the incremental field outside the tilted vein is described by the second term of Eq.…”

“…In the subsequent tests, oxygen flow rates were increased following a previously-published protocol. 22 Thus, if the SpO 2 in the preceding 6-min walk test had been: 1) 86e90%, in the successive test the increment was 1 l$min À1 ; 2) 81e85%, the increment was 2 l$min À1 ; and 3) <80%, the increment was 3 l$min À1 . Patients rested for 20 min between each walking test.…”
