MORIOKA, Japan-Monday 2 July 2018 [ AETOS Wire ] (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the findings of a study in which researchers evaluated the ability of Masimo ORi™ (Oxygen Reserve Index) to detect declining blood oxygenation prior to standard oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring in patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV).1 ORi is a noninvasive, relative indicator of a patient’s oxygen reserve in the moderate hyperoxic region (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood [PaO2] in the range of 100 to 200 mmHg). As an “index” parameter with a unit-less scale between 0 and 1, ORi can be trended and has optional alarms to notify clinicians of changes in a patient’s oxygen reserve. In the study, Dr. Koishi and colleagues at Iwate Medical University in Morioka, Japan sought to evaluate whether ORi could serve as an early warning of desaturation in patients undergoing OLV, as such patients are often prone to hypoxemia.
