A total of 11,018 paired SpO2-SaO2 measurements were analysed. All five pulse oximeters returned higher SpO2 values for patients with darker skin tones than patients with lighter skin tones, at any ...
Fingertip pulse oximeters are more likely to miss dangerously low oxygen in darker skinned people, a new study shows. UK researchers conducted the largest study so far on this topic, involving over ...
Serious hidden hypoxemia — defined as an SaO2 less than 88% despite an SpO2 of 92% or greater — occurred in 0.6% of the critically ill Asian patients studied. Hypoxemia went undetected in 0.8% of ...
Clinical question: What is the prevalence of, and what are the risk factors for, occult hypoxemia in ICU patients, and does that impact patient outcomes? Background: The finding of occult hypoxemia, i ...
These promising results-from an NIH-funded study that exclusively evaluated Masimo SET ® in a vulnerable, clinically fragile patient population-add to previously published evidence of its strong ...
For any given SaO2, SpO2 readings are higher for those with darker versus lighter skin tone. HealthDay News — Patients with darker skin tones have peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) readings that ...
