Skin Pigmentation clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Skin pigmentation is the color of a person's skin. UCSF is researching the accuracy of pulse oximeters when blood oxygen is low. The trials involve comparing device readings at various low oxygen levels.
Pulse Oximeter Accuracy in Healthy Humans During Hypoxia
open to eligible people ages 21-50
The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxygen. This study will be done on healthy male or females between the age group of 18-50.
