Abstract: Objective: Current intrapartum fetal monitoring technology is unable to provide physicians with an objective metric of fetal well-being, leading to degraded patient outcomes and increased ...

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 ...

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 ...

Largest study on this topic suggests that measurement errors lead to potential delays in care and contribute to health disparities Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

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 ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, according to the largest ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Racial biases persist in the use of pulse oximetry devices for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) requiring very high levels of oxygen support, a ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that quantitatively defines the relationships between the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and ...
