Hypoxemia in the First 24 Hours After Trauma - an Observational Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pulse oximeter for Trauma and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 165 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the occurrence of hypoxemia (an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the blood) in trauma patients within the first 24 hours of hospital admission following arrival to a trauma center. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Do trauma patients experience hypoxemia during the initial 24 hours of hospital admission following trauma? * What is the daily distribution of potential hypoxemic episodes? The investigators expect that hypoxemic episodes will be more frequent during the night (20.00-07.59) than during the day (08.00-19.59) An additional pulse oximeter will be attached to the participants, which measures oxygen saturation in the blood during the first 24 hours of hospital admission after trauma.

Interventions
No real intervention, but all study participants will have an additional pulse oximeter attached, to measure oxygen saturation.
