    Peripheral muscle strength and oxygen desaturation in hospitalized patients of the Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo Hospital Chiclayo 2022
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-05-26) Meoño Rojas, José Miguel; Diaz Mau, Aimee Yajaira
    In recent years, oxygen desaturation (SPO2) has been frequently associated with exertion and also with one of the most well-known pathologies in the world, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Another pathology of modern times is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. In February 2021, a study from Italy described oxygen desaturation as one of the main factors associated with this disease, along with dyspnea, fatigue, and exhaustion reported in 90% of the recorded cases in adult patients. Aging is also related, as previously mentioned, to desaturation and peripheral muscle strength (PMS), which are closely linked to frailty or associated disability, not only in the elderly but also in healthy young adults. This leads to physical limitations, which are the main factors contributing to the high morbidity and mortality worldwide, serving as clinical markers for each patient's hospitalization. It is a very common finding to see a drop in desaturation in these diseases induced by exercise or physical activity. The decrease in SPO2 by ≥4% and a drop in SPO2 to ≤88% is a persistent phenomenon.
