It is uncertain whether skin pigmentation affects pulse oximeter accuracy at low HbO2 saturation. The accuracy of finger pulse oximeters during stable, plateau levels of arterial oxygen saturation ...
Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...

Aim Accurate measurement of Hb saturation is essential in the care of children with sickle cell disease (SCD). The gold standard of Hb saturation measurement is by ABG with co-oximetry.
Introduction Hypoxic challenge test consisting of breathing 15% FiO2 for 20 min with blood gas measurements is recommended by BTS guidelines for the assessment of the requirement for in-flight oxygen.
