**Summary** Pulse oximetry probes placed peripherally may fail to give accurate values of blood oxygen saturation when the peripheral circulation is poor. Because central blood flow may be preferentially preserved, we investigated the oesophagus as an alternative monitoring site. A reflectance blood

Although theophylline is a widely used drug for the treatment of acute childhood asthma, its efficacy has not been clearly established. This study constitutes a meta-analysis of published randomized clinical trials of theophylline in children hospitalized with acute asthma. We conducted a search of
The aim of this study was to determine the relation between transcutaneous hemoglobin oxygen saturation, measured by pulse oximetry (SpO 2 ), and clinical score values in 138 infants (mean Β± SD, 6.6 Β± 5.5 months of age) with acute wheezing episodes presenting in a primary care outpatient setting.
