@GabbyBudz Yes! The implications of this are difficult to ascertain for me, but the precedent still stands. I think most good physicians would not only take the O2 sat in a vacuum, but rather use the entire clinical picture to make decisions. https://t.co/

1. I’m sometimes asked if inclusions means lowering standards of excellence. It’s not always understood that this is a loaded question, that it presumes current standards achieve that goal. Blind spots like this show that inclusion matters. #medtwitter #

“In two large cohorts, Black patients had nearly 3x the frequency of occult hypoxemia that was not detected by pulse oximetry as White patients.” Look past the label racial bias; see the impact of exclusion during design, adoption and scale. #medtwitter
