Agreement Between 5 Different Pulse Oximeters Used Simultaneously During a Six-minute Walk Test
Completed
Conditions studied: Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Six Minute Walk Test
In brief
This study aims to compare the results obtained during a standardised 6-minute walk test with five different pulse oximeters, in adults admitted to an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program, to determine the agreement between devices of current use for measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2) and identifying subjects with desaturation during the test.
