Brief summary
Evaluation of SpO2 Accuracy in Children with Various Skin Color
Detailed description
Pulse oximeters, which estimate blood oxygen levels, are routinely utilized for monitoring. However, research has shown that these devices may provide higher readings for individuals with darker skin tones as compared to individuals with lighter skin tones. This inaccuracy can result in unnoticed or untreated low oxygen levels, particularly affecting racial and ethnic minorities. It is beneficial for patients and healthcare providers to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings from pulse oximeters sold in the U.S. This study test the Nihon Kohden pulse oximeter and SpO2 sensors in neonatal and pediatric patients.
