Abstract Objectives: Previous studies have shown that inaccurate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings compared with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) may occur in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. We hypothesized that..

Abstract Background: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a technology routinely used in clinical practice to assess blood oxygenation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR). Skin pigmentation may influence accuracy, leading to health outcomes..

Abstract Background strategy, vasopressors, and hemolysis are important physiological factors that influence in (ECMO). We hypothesized these factors influence the discrepancy between measured by (Spo2) and (Sao2) on ECMO. Methods We retrospectively analyzed adults (aged ≥18..

Abstract Purpose: Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive medical technique that measures the amount of oxygen in a person’s blood by shining light through their skin. It is widely used in medical..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Pulse oximetry is the mainstay of patient oxygen monitoring. Measurement error from pulse oximetry is more common for those with darker skin pigmentation, yet this topic remains understudied, and..

Abstract Hypovolemia, anemia and hypoxemia may cause critical deterioration in the oxygen delivery (DO2). Their early detection followed by a prompt and appropriate intervention is a cornerstone in the care..
