Overestimation of Oxygen Saturation Measured by Pulse Oximetry in Hypoxemia. Part 1: Effect of Optical Pathlengths-Ratio Increase
On average, arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO<sub>2</sub>) is higher in hypoxemia than the true oxygen saturation measured invasively (SaO<sub>2</sub>), thereby increasing the risk of occult hypoxemia. In the current article, measurements of SpO<su...
