The differences, or bias, between estimates of blood oxygen saturation levels as measured with pulse oximeters compared to the gold-standard method of measuring oxygen saturation in arterial blood ...

SpO2 readings were, on average, 0.6-1.5 percentage points higher for patients with darker than lighter skin tone. At both SpO2 thresholds assessed, false negative rates (low oxygen missed by the pulse ...

Scientists have long known that pulse oximeters are less accurate when used for people with dark skin tones – and now, a new report offers some insight into just how much more inaccurate these ...

Pulse oximetry was less accurate for people with darker skin tones in two studies, one regarding home-use devices and the other hospital-grade devices, although with some surprising differences ...

Black people in the hospital are 31.9% more likely than White patients to have pulse oximeter readings that overestimate their oxygen levels by at least 4 percentage points, according to data ...
