Enabled by the multi-wavelength rainbow\u00ae<\/sup> Pulse CO-Oximetry platform, ORi is provided alongside oxygen saturation (SpO2<\/sub>) measured by clinically proven Masimo SET\u00ae<\/sup> pulse oximetry.\n<\/p>\n \nNoting the importance of optimizing preoxygenation in patients needing ETI, the researchers sought to evaluate whether ORi could provide early warning of impending hypoxemia during the procedure, because ORi \u201csupplies information beyond the range explored by SpO2.<\/sub>\u201d Of the 51 patients who met the inclusion criteria, ORi (alongside SpO2<\/sub>) was monitored using Masimo Radical-7\u00ae<\/sup> Pulse CO-Oximeters\u00ae<\/sup> and rainbow\u00ae<\/sup> fingertip sensors when preoxygenation began. Values were recorded every two seconds, and attending clinicians were not aware of these values. The primary endpoint measured was the time between ORi decreasing below 0.4 and the onset of mild hypoxemia (defined as SpO2<\/sub> < 97%). Secondarily, the investigators evaluated whether a decline in ORi during preoxygenation predicted the occurrence of mild hypoxemia during ETI.\n<\/p>\n \nAnalyzing areas under the ROC curve, the researchers found that ORi during preoxygenation predicted SpO2<\/sub> < 97% during intubation (0.73; 95% confidence interval of 0.58 \u2013 0.88). By contrast, SpO2<\/sub> at the end of preoxygenation was \u201cpoorly predictive\u201d (0.54; 95% CI 0.40 \u2013 0.67). Using univariate analysis, they found that a higher ORi value during preoxygenation was associated with a less frequent occurrence of SpO2<\/sub> < 97% (odds ratio of 0.09; 95% CI 0.01 \u2013 0.69, p = 0.0199) and that \u201cthe highest ORi value during preoxygenation remained significantly associated with a lower risk of SpO2<\/sub> < 97% during ETI, after adjustment for ETI duration and BMI (odds ratio of 0.76; 95% CI 0.61 \u2013 0.95, p = 0.0141).\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe researchers concluded, \u201cThe median time between the ORi decrease below 0.4 and the SpO2<\/sub> decrease below 97% during the apneic period was 81 seconds [34\u2013146]. A higher ORi during preoxygenation was independently associated with a lower risk of mild hypoxemia (SpO2<\/sub> < 97%).\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe researchers noted that the median 81 seconds of forewarning \u201cmay allow immediate intubation, early face-mask ventilation, insertion of a supraglottic device, or a call for help in the event of intubation difficulties.\u201d In addition, they noted that \u201cORi monitoring can help identify patients who do not increase their oxygen reserve despite preoxygenation and are therefore at [increased] risk of desaturation during ETI. These patients may benefit from a longer preoxygenation period and\/or a change in device.\u201d The authors further noted that \u201can ORi decline might lead to the detection of a fault in the preoxygenation technique such as an insufficient oxygen flow rate or major leaks.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nAs a study limitation, the authors noted that their findings cannot be generalized to ICU patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, as those patient cohorts remain to be evaluated. The inclusion criteria for this study were ICU admission with a need for ETI and an SpO2<\/sub>\/FiO2<\/sub> ratio above 214. The SpO2<\/sub>\/FiO2<\/sub> ratio was measured during noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen therapy; for conventional oxygen therapy, the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2<\/sub>) was calculated as FiO2<\/sub> = 0.21 + O2<\/sub> [rate in L\/min] x 0.03.\n<\/p>\n \nORi has not received FDA 510(k) clearance and is not available for sale in the United States.\n<\/p>\n @Masimo<\/a> | #Masimo\n<\/p>\n About Masimo<\/b><\/p>\n \nMasimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies, including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and automation and connectivity solutions. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes, reduce the cost of care, and take noninvasive monitoring to new sites and applications. Masimo SET\u00ae<\/sup> Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion\u2122 pulse oximetry, introduced in 1995, has been shown in over 100 independent and objective studies to outperform other pulse oximetry technologies.2<\/sup> Masimo SET\u00ae<\/sup> has also been shown to help clinicians reduce severe retinopathy of prematurity in neonates,3<\/sup> improve CCHD screening in newborns,4 <\/sup>and, when used for continuous monitoring with Masimo Patient SafetyNet\u2122 in post-surgical wards, reduce rapid response team activations, ICU transfers, and costs.5-8 <\/sup>Masimo SET\u00ae<\/sup> is estimated to be used on more than 200 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world,9<\/sup> and is the primary pulse oximetry at 9 of the top 10 hospitals as ranked in the 2021-22 U.S. News and World Report<\/i> Best Hospitals Honor Roll.10<\/sup> Masimo continues to refine SET\u00ae<\/sup> and in 2018, announced that SpO2<\/sub> accuracy on RD SET\u00ae<\/sup> sensors during conditions of motion has been significantly improved, providing clinicians with even greater confidence that the SpO2<\/sub> values they rely on accurately reflect a patient\u2019s physiological status. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow\u00ae<\/sup> Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb\u00ae<\/sup>), oxygen content (SpOC\u2122), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO\u00ae<\/sup>), methemoglobin (SpMet\u00ae<\/sup>), Pleth Variability Index (PVi\u00ae<\/sup>), RPVi\u2122 (rainbow\u00ae<\/sup> PVi), and Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi\u2122). In 2013, Masimo introduced the Root\u00ae<\/sup> Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, built from the ground up to be as flexible and expandable as possible to facilitate the addition of other Masimo and third-party monitoring technologies; key Masimo additions include Next Generation SedLine\u00ae<\/sup> Brain Function Monitoring, O3\u00ae<\/sup> Regional Oximetry, and ISA\u2122 Capnography with NomoLine\u00ae<\/sup> sampling lines. Masimo\u2019s family of continuous and spot-check monitoring Pulse CO-Oximeters\u00ae<\/sup> includes devices designed for use in a variety of clinical and non-clinical scenarios, including tetherless, wearable technology, such as Radius-7\u00ae<\/sup> and Radius PPG\u2122, portable devices like Rad-67\u00ae<\/sup>, fingertip pulse oximeters like MightySat\u00ae<\/sup> Rx, and devices available for use both in the hospital and at home, such as Rad-97\u00ae<\/sup>.
