Accurate interpretation of carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) requires the knowledge of haemoglobin (Hb) level. Comparing the first SpHb measurement with historical Hb (n=50), SpHb level was higher by 0.47 (1.46) ( I P i =0.03), which translates to lower adjusted ...
38 which have come under recent scrutiny, the race and ethnicity–based discrepancy of pulse oximetry exposes a fundamental flaw in the acquisition rather than interpretation of data, although all the aforementioned biases are associated with systematic underdiagnosis of disease or withholding of ...

There is considerable misunderstanding and lack of education among junior clinicians as to the use and interpretation of pulse oximeters. The introduction of the pulse oximeter has demonstrated a cost saving, although the cost-benefit of new multi-wavelength probes remains unproven....
