Pulse Oximeter Accuracy in Healthy Humans During Hypoxia
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxygen. This study will be done on healthy male or females between the age group of 18-50.
