Does pulse oximetry (PPG) waveform analysis facilitate early identification of patients at risk for deterioration in ED patients with early sepsis?
PPG waveform characteristics may serve as a novel tool for the early identification of clinical deterioration in ED patients with sepsis.
This study highlights the potential use of PPG as a valuable tool for detecting early cardiovascular changes in sepsis. These findings hold significance for developing novel tools that can facilitate early identification of patients at risk for deterioration, thereby improving clinical decisions and outcomes for ED patients with early sepsis.
