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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
