Statistically significant risk factors for hypoxaemia on univariate analysis (p&lt;0.05) included lack of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring, transfer by an intern as opposed to other medical/paramedical staff, and transfer from internal medicine. Use of neuromuscular blockers and transfer from theatre were protective. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed lack of SpO2 monitoring to be the only significant independent predictor of hypoxaemia (odds ratio 6.1; 95% confidence interval 1.5 - 24.5; p=0.02). Hypoxaemia is common on admission to the ICU and may be prevented by simple interventions such as appropriate transport monitoring.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0256-9574</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 2078-5135</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2078-5135</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.7196/SAMJ.2016.v106i5.10251</identifier><identifier>PMID: 27138673</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>South Africa: Health &amp; Medical Publishing Group</publisher><subject>Analysis ; Care and treatment ; Health Care Sciences &amp; Services ; Health Policy &amp; Services ; Hypoxia ; Intensive care units ; Medical Ethics ; Medicine, General &amp; Internal ; Medicine, Legal ; Medicine, Research &amp; Experimental</subject><ispartof>SAMJ: South African Medical Journal, 2016-05, Vol.106 (5), p.510-513</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2016 Health &amp; Medical Publishing Group</rights><rights>This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c363t-c13805b11968691be69acdd56e830ce510d7f03298bda8311d732fe99fd289363</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>230,314,776,780,860,881,27901,27902</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27138673$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>De Vasconcellos, Kim</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Skinner, David Lee</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Singh, Dhivendra</creatorcontrib><title>Hypoxaemia on arrival in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit</title><title>SAMJ: South African Medical Journal</title><addtitle>S Afr Med J</addtitle><description>Transport of the critically ill patient poses the risk of numerous complications.
