A major UK study shows that commonly used home pulse oximeters can overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin, increasing the risk of undetected hypoxemia and raising urgent questions about ...

In the EXAKT study from the U.K., the home-use pulse oximeters assessed all gave higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings for patients with darker skin tones than for patients with lighter skin tones.

An ABG test checks how well your lungs and kidneys work by measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood. This test helps doctors know if your body has an acid-base balance issue and if treatment ...
