As someone who uses a pulse oximeter frequently this is stunning news. Will be sure to let all my colleagues know today!

Fascinating, important and disturbing. As they say, not a new finding but one of which awareness (incl. mine) is low. Reflects underlying bias in research and regulatory regimes and medical and broader culture. Imagine how many other examples are out there

According to a recent study published @NEJM, occult hypoxemia (not detectable by pulse oximetry) was three times more common in Black patients compared with White patients. Very important implications for the management of those with #COVID19 https://t.c

This. Is. Wild. I didn't know that's how pulse ox devices worked. This could explain so much about the racial death discrepancy in covid. This has to be fixed immediately.
