Q: What is “pulse ox”? My sister keeps telling our mom and dad (they’re 74 and 77) that they should be keeping keep track of it, especially right now. She hasn’t been too good at explaining why, or ...

Pulse oximetry guides the management of respiratory conditions through non-invasively monitoring arterial oxygen saturation. Unstable haemoglobin variants may produce inaccurate readings. We describe ...

Background: High blood oxygen tensions and oxygen tension variability have been linked to morbidity in preterm infants. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring is commonly used to guide oxygen therapy but ...

Dear Doctor: What is “pulse ox”? My sister keeps telling our mom and dad (they’re 74 and 77) that they should be keeping keep track of it, especially right now. She hasn’t been too good at explaining ...

Pulse oximetry is a means for non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation in blood. It employs an indirect method of assessing these conditions immediately just by clipping a sensor onto your finger ...

Background and aims: Pulse oximetry (SpO2) is a fundamental aspect of PIC (Paediatric Intensive Care) (Hanning and Alexander-Williams, 1995). Due to widespread use of pulse oximetry, competence and ...

If you’ve had a checkup, a medical professional may have clipped a device to your finger to measure your oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse. Until last year, that was my only experience with such ...

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 urgent questions about ...

Huawei introduced the Watch GT 2e last month, a sportier and lower-cost version of the Watch GT 2. The GT 2e comes with the blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitor feature, along with other fitness ...

Google looks to finally be enabling blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) tracking on the Pixel Watch. At least one Pixel Watch owner today has spotted an “Oxygen saturation” card in the on-device “Fitbit ...

A new update for the Charge 4 is rolling out, which will let users view blood oxygen saturation from the wrist. The update – spotted by 9to5Google – is part of a large package of new Charge 4 features ...
