In the EXAKT study from the U.K., the home-use pulse oximeters assessed all gave higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings for patients with darker skin tones than for patients with lighter skin tones.
Intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry to assess the fetus during labor is “noninvasive” to the fetus but requires ruptured membranes for sensor placement. A randomized trial evaluated what, if any, effect ...
