NCT05690269 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 232

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Finger pulse oximetry SpO2 is widely used to estimate arterial oxygen saturation SaO2. Current Spo2 targets do not take into consideration the many variables that affect that correlation in particular skin pigmentation.

This study aims to evaluate different FDA approved pulse oximeters (Nonin co-pilot, massimo Radical 7, Philips-standard of care monitor, innovo premium iP900BP, nellcor PM1000N, Nano100) with SaO2 reference values obtained by an arterial blood gas in subjects with different skin pigments measured by a skin color scale as well as self-identification of race.

Conditions

  • Hypoxemia
  • Hyperoxia
  • Pigment Skin

Interventions

DEVICE

SpO2 and SaO2 comparison

Several pulse oximeter will be place on patients fingers a few minutes before arterial blood gases. SpO2 will be recorded during that time and up to 10 minutes.
