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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

AIM To determine normative data for arterial oxygen saturation, measured by pulse oximetry (SpO 2), in healthy full term infants throughout their first 24 hours of life. CONCLUSION The range of SpO 2 ...

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 ...
