A good reminder that medical care cannot always be applied uniformly. Accuracy of blood oxygen levels as measured by pulse oximetry appears to vary with race. Undetected low oxygen levels were nearly 3 time as common in Black patients as White patients. ht

An important point that needs to be included. A Black patient may have a reading in the low to mid 90s while ACTUALLY having blood ox in the mid 80s. Denying them o2 in those ranges could mean organ failure or death. Rationing harms Black patients more
