The pulse oximeter is a ubiquitous clinical tool used to estimate blood oxygen
concentrations. However, decreased accuracy of pulse oximetry in patients with dark skin …

Background Pulse oximetry-derived oxygen saturation (SpO 2) is an estimate of true arterial
oxygen saturation (SaO 2). The aim of this review was to evaluate available evidence …

Purpose This study aimed to analyze and quantify the representation of dark skin tones
(DST) images/graphics across fifteen foundational and clinical nursing textbooks to …

There is a scarcity of nursing literature, studies, and educational materials on the
assessment and early recognition of both common and serious integumentary and general …

Background There is growing concern that pulse oximeters are routinely less accurate in
hospitalized patients with darker skin pigmentation, in turn increasing risk of undetected …

Pulse oximeters are essential medical devices (1, 2). Yet, Black patients have high and
clinically consequential rates of “hidden” or “occult” hypoxemia—dangerously low oxygen …

Digitalization in medicine offers a significant opportunity to transform healthcare systems by
providing novel digital tools and services to guide personalized prevention, prediction …

Objectives: Pulse oximetry (Sp o 2) may overestimate arterial oxygen saturation (Sa o 2) in
blood laboratory testing. This study aimed to assess Sp o 2–Sa o 2 difference in relation to …

Purpose Recent reports that pulse oximeters may overestimate oxygen saturation in
individuals with darker skin pigmentation have prompted concerns from regulatory …

Appendicectomy is a common procedure in children with a low risk of mortality, however,
complication rates and risk factors are largely unknown. This study aimed to characterise the …
