Oxygen Reserve Index: Utility as an Early Warning for Desaturation in High-Risk Surgical Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In adult high-risk surgical patients, ORI provided clinically relevant added warning time of impending desaturation compared to SpO2. 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. PMID: 32815872 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
