Title
Analysing the effects of cold, normal, and warm digits on transmittance pulse oximetry.
Abstract
•Investigated the effects of temperature on pulse oximeter signal quality in 20 healthy adults.•Signal quality may vary at normal site temperature, and is subject dependant.•Cold site temperature significantly degrades signal quality in general.•Warm site temperature significantly improves signal quality in general.•Warm site temperature (about 33°C) should be maintained for reliable pulse oximetry.
