How Differences in Oximeter Performance May Affect Clinical Decision

Switzerland50 participantsStarted 2023-07-01

Plain-language summary

In clinical practice discrepancies between overnight SpO2 recordings performed by 2 devices used simultaneously are regularly observed. However, this has not been systematically studied or quantified. It is therefore important to determine if these discrepancies are anecdotic, or frequent, and to what extent this may affect decisions in clinical practice such as implementing (or withdrawing) oxygen in subjects under noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or adjusting NIV settings.

* Inclusion criteria: * \> 18 years old * Awake room air SpO2 between 90 and 94% * NIV or CPAP therapy * Ambulatory or hospitalized patient in a clinically stable respiratory condition without any vasopressor treatment. * Exclusion criteria: * Hospitalization in an acute care setting (e.g. emergency room, Intensive Care Unit, Intermediate Care Unit) * Any vasopressor treatment * Peripheral vascular pathologies that can affect digital perfusion (e.g. history of ischemia, Raynaud's phenomenon, any type of vasculitis). * Mechanical obstacles that may limit quality of signal (e.g. nail polish, bandage, splint, plaster). * Patient already treated by long term nocturnal oxygen therapy (LTOT)
