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 ...

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.

Article metrics provide readers and authors with an indication of how often a specific article has been accessed month by month. It counts three formats - abstract/extract, full text and pdf. The page ...

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 ...

The EquiOx study showed that in critically ill patients, oxygen saturation assessed by pulse oximetry (SpO 2) was often lower than arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ...

Discrepancies between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation can pose challenges in clinical assessment. Possible underlying causes include poor peripheral perfusion, skin pigmentation, motion ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...

SpO2 overestimated SaO2 by 0.93% in Black patients, 0.49% in Hispanic patients, and 0.53% in patients of other racial/ethnic groups compared with White patients. Overestimation of O 2 saturation based ...
