A recent study explored one possible cause -- hyperoxia or high concentrations of oxygen given to such patients during surgery -- as opposed to doses more similar to air. The study concluded that ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

Apple will deliver a software update for recent US Apple Watch models to reimplement the ability to measure blood oxygen levels, a process known as pulse oximetry.… Pulse oximetry can be helpful when ...
