Summary Background Pulse oximeters are widely used to monitor blood oxygen saturations, although concerns exist that they are less accurate in individuals with pigmented skin. Aims This study aimed to determine if patients with pigmented skin were mo... Read More about Differential pulse oximetry readings between ethnic groups and delayed transfer to intensive care units.

Age modifies both the maximal temperature and inflammatory response in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (2022)
Journal Article

Objective To determine the maximal response of the temperature and inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and how these are modified by age. Methods Participants were patients admitted to hospital with SARS-CoV-2 infection. For each partici...
