Key result
A newly developed computer program corrects the diagnostic inaccuracy of two-wave pulse oximetry in assessing hemoglobin oxygen saturation in smokers by accounting for carboxyhemoglobin levels.
Why the study?
Does a computer program correct diagnostic inaccuracy of two-wave pulse oximetry in assessing blood oxygenation in smokers?
Does a computer program correct diagnostic inaccuracy of two-wave pulse oximetry in assessing blood oxygenation in smokers?
A novel computer program can correct the overestimation of oxygen saturation by two-wave pulse oximetry in smokers by accounting for carboxyhemoglobin levels.
May aid SpO2 accuracy assessment in smokers; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Transcutaneous two-wave pulse oximetry is the most popular and prevalent method for studying blood oxygenation. However, during its implementation, smokers do not take into account the level of carboxyhemoglobin, which leads to an erroneous overestimation of hemoglobin saturation with oxygen. The computer program developed by us makes it possible, without the use of additional diagnostic equipment, to correct the results of monitoring blood oxygenation for the level of carboxyhemoglobin, correcting the indicated diagnostic inaccuracy in assessing the saturation of hemoglobin by oxygen in smokers.
