Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give ...

Normal blood oxygen level is either 95%-100% SpO2 on an oximeter or 80-100 mm Hg from an ABG test. ABG tests are more accurate than pulse oximeters, which have a ...

As an emergency medicine physician, Dr. Owais Durrani sees this issue regularly first-hand: When he clamps a pulse oximeter onto a patient's fingertip to measure their blood oxygen levels, the small ...

The UCSF Hypoxia Laboratory and UCSF Center for Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA) are formally launching the Open Oximetry Project, a multi-year initiative to improve access to safe ...

The Apple Watch’s SpO2 sensor that allows wearers to measure their blood oxygen levels was impressive when it first debuted, but it may be even more accurate than initially marketed. According to a ...
