密歇根医学研究发现，脉搏血氧计无法准确测量黑人心力衰竭患者的血氧水平，可能会影响获得救生治疗的机会。 Michigan Medicine study finds pulse oximeters inaccurately measure blood oxygen levels in Black heart failure patients, potentially affecting access to life-saving treatments.
密歇根医学的一项研究表明，脉搏血氧计读数可能无法准确测量黑人心力衰竭患者的血氧水平，这可能会限制他们获得心脏泵和移植等救生治疗。 A Michigan Medicine study reveals pulse oximeter readings may inaccurately measure blood oxygen levels in Black heart failure patients, potentially limiting their access to life-saving treatments like heart pumps and transplants. 研究人员发现，脉搏血氧计低估了黑人患者的血液泵送并高估了血管阻力，这可能使他们失去接受心脏泵或移植的资格。 Researchers discovered that pulse oximeters underestimate blood pumping and overestimate blood vessel resistance in Black patients, which could disqualify them from receiving heart pumps or transplants. 美国食品和药物管理局正在讨论提高脉搏血氧仪在皮肤色素沉着、种族和民族方面的性能的方法。 The US Food and Drug Administration is discussing ways to improve pulse oximeter performance regarding skin pigmentation, race, and ethnicity. 在做出改进之前，医疗专业人员应考虑使用替代方法来测量患有心力衰竭的黑人患者的血流动力学。 Until improvements are made, medical professionals should consider alternative methods for measuring hemodynamics in Black patients with heart failure.
