A conversion formula for comparing pulse oximeter desaturation rates obtained with different averaging times.
OBJECTIVE: The number of desaturations determined in recordings of pulse oximeter saturation (SpO2) primarily depends on the time over which values are averaged. As the averaging time in pulse oximeters is not standardized, it varies considerably between centers. To make SpO2 data comparable, it is...
