Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method of measuring oxyhemoglobin saturation. The validity of pulse oximetry in sickle cell disease (SCD) has been questioned. We evaluated pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas analysis, and co-oximetry in patients with SCD, and we assessed the effect of dyshemoglobin a

An important purpose of blood transfusion in patients with sickle cell disease is to improve arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ) and thereby reduce red cell sickling. To investigate the degree of improvement in SaO 2 by blood transfusion, we determined the hemoglobin oxygen affinity, transcutaneous
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT) is based upon a photochemical reaction that is limited by the availability of molecular oxygen in the target tissue. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) increases the amount of oxygen available for the process may thereby
