Summary

The investigators' study aims to study how melanin index (mx) affects the deviation between SpO2 and SaO2, which becomes generally greater as hypoxia increases. The studies reviewed grouped individuals by race or have assigned individuals into groups like "dark", "intermediate", or "light" to describe pigmentation. Both of these methods are neither standardized nor objective, looking for race identifiers when it is more useful to be considering skin pigmentation identifiers. Skin pigmentation is a spectrum and it should be treated as such when trying to characterize relationships involving measurable factors such as melanin index.

The investigators will similarly measure the deviation between SpO2 and SaO2 however novel in that the investigators will quantitatively measure skin pigmentation via a light reflectance measurement device by Photovault.
