Normal blood oxygen saturation levels are 95% to 100%. Most people should have a blood oxygen level of at least 92%. If your blood oxygen level drops below 90%, it can be dangerous and requires ...

A total of 11,018 paired SpO2-SaO2 measurements were analysed. All five pulse oximeters returned higher SpO2 values for patients with darker skin tones than patients with lighter skin tones, at any ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

To take a pulse oximetry reading, turn on the device, place it on your fingertip, sit still, and wait for a stable reading. Normal oxygen saturation levels range from 95% to 100%; levels below 92% may ...
