Yes. I learned about hand driers also not working the same for POC due to differences in light recognition and darker skin. Never put 2 and 2 together with pulse ox. Thank you for this work! #medtwitter #DiversityinMedicine

Pulse ox devices are calibrated for lighter pigment when using light to measure oxygen blood levels. This can have devastating implications if you are Black. Very scary.

Such an important read. Especially in #COVIDtimes Yes, pulse oxymeters (and other sensors) can be affected by skin color. Significant implications for our black patients with oxygen overestimation. #healthequitynow

Yikes! Another way race impacts health outcomes. I’ve read several stories this year about Black people who report they had breathing problems, got turned away for care and subsequently died. Makes me wonder if it was based on oxygen readings that were

Tech folks be like "StUdYiNg RaCe iS sTuPiD. HaRd ScIeNcEs ArE rEaLiAbLe" and then they create machines that do things like this 🤦🏽♀️🙃
Skin color can affect the pulse ox read and falsely reflect the oxygenation in black patients. Be mindful of that when treating hypoxemic patients. Also, time for medical devices to be tested in all skin colors! @msjoding #MedEd https://t.co/uHqPmYnv2s
