As of May 2026, the trauma resuscitation playbook has been rewritten with the release of the most significant AHA CPR updates since 2020, introducing strict compression depth limits (2-2.4 inches) and ...

To take a pulse oximetry reading, turn on the device, place it on your fingertip, sit still, and wait for a stable reading. Normal oxygen saturation levels range from 95% to 100%; levels below 92% may ...

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 studies investigated the feasibility of using an RGB camera to estimate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), i.e., “Ratio of Ratios” by red (R) and green (G) channels and calibration ...

Apple removed blood oxygen monitoring from the Apple Watch in early 2024. Somebody has to blink for it to return, and it looks like neither Masimo nor Apple are going to budge. Blood oxygen monitoring ...

Tucked away in some Garmin watches is a sensor that enables continuous blood oxygen monitoring, a feature the company refers to as ‘Pulse Ox’. You may have seen the feature appear in menus or in ...

Accurate, non-invasive physiological monitoring is key to reproducible pre-clinical research studies. While the Rodent Surgical Monitor (RSM+) system has helped many researchers monitor the standard ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The pulse-oximetric peripheral oxygen saturation to a fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO 2 /FiO 2) ratio has been suggested as an additional hypoxemia criterion in the new global acute respiratory ...
