“Current scientific evidence suggests there are some accuracy differences in pulse #oximeter performance between individuals with lighter and darker skin pigmentation” - @US_FDA 🚨🖕🏾vs. 🖕🏻 Every health professional (& patient) needs to know this! 🫁🫀🩸
Today, we published new draft guidance aimed at helping improve the accuracy and performance of pulse oximeters – important devices for patient care that are used to estimate the amount of oxygen carried in the blood – across the range of skin pigmentation.

Pulse oximeters overestimate arterial oxygen saturation and provide more variable readings in people with darker skin pigmentations. Despite guidance from the @US_FDA, the reporting of participant skin tones in pulse oximeter testing has been inconsistent. 🧵

So many people live with unseen distress, suffering or hidden health conditions❤️🩹 The mask of expectation, stoicism, lack of awareness or fear concealing reality 🎭 - #stigma & society can reinforce this. Acts of kindness can go a very long way towards support & healing🕊️
