Efficacy of pulse oximetry for early diagnosis of pulmonary embolism after total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Introduction Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) are crucial for preventing severe complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to examine the efficacy of measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2) using a pulse oximeter for early diagnosis of...
