Defining hypoxaemia from pulse oximeter measurements of oxygen saturation in well children at low altitude in Bangladesh: an observational study

BACKGROUND: WHO defines hypoxaemia, a low peripheral arterial oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO(2)), as <90%. Although hypoxaemia is an important risk factor for mortality of children with respiratory infections, the optimal SpO(2) threshold for defining hypoxaemia is uncertain in low-income and mid...
