Summary

This study looked at 35 patients undergoing brain death testing. It checked whether a non-invasive finger clip (measuring oxygen reserve) and a breath sensor could accurately measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels compared to standard blood tests. The goal was to see if these simpler tools could be used instead of repeated blood draws during the apnea test.
