This review synthesised existing evidence on racial disparities in pulse oximeter accuracy, quantified the degree of bias, evaluated clinical effects, highlighted implications for practice, and ...
Abstract: Recent work has noted a skin-color bias in existing pulse oximetry systems in their estimation of arterial oxygen saturation. Frequently, the algorithm used by these systems estimate a ...
Conclusions: SpO2 and PR measurements may be inaccurate across all skin pigmentation groups, breaching U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance and industry standard thresholds. Pulse oximeters ...
