Comparing finger and forehead sensors to measure oxygen saturation in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Background and objective: Oxyhaemoglobin saturation of arterial blood is commonly measured using a finger sensor attached to a pulse oximeter (SpO2). We sought to compare SpO2 measured using finger and forehead sensors with oxyhaemoglobin saturation in arterialized capillary samples (ACS) in people...
