By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD 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 ...

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.

Pulse oximeters use light to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood (SpO2). For most people, a normal pulse oximeter reading is between 95% and 100%, with readings below 90-92% generally considered ...

Pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect hypoxaemia give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, according to UK researchers. Subscribe today for unlimited access ...

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 ...

Objective: Pulse oximeters are increasingly used for patient monitoring but are very prone to motion artifact. Newly developed instruments have lower false alarm rates (Bohnhorst&Poets, Intensive Care ...
