To crack the mystery of what causes silent hypoxia, a condition when oxygen levels in the body are abnormally low, biomedical engineers used computer modeling to test out three different scenarios ...

Using affected systems may lead to ventilation failure, potentially resulting in hypoxia and death, according to the report, though GE HealthCare has reported no issues or deaths thus far. Customers ...
