Pulse oximeters put to the test in ICU oxygen study
NCT ID NCT07166718
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study checked how accurately a simple finger clip (pulse oximeter) measures oxygen levels compared to a blood test in 152 ICU patients getting extra oxygen. Researchers wanted to see if the non-invasive device matches the more precise blood gas analysis. The results could help doctors rely more on the easier method.
