Overview: Resistance to patient motion and fast response to respiratory events are two of the defining characteristics of "Next Generation" pulse oximetry. These researchers tested the motion tolerance of five current generation oximeters during hypoxemia when set in their fastest SpO2 response modes (averaging times). Using their standardized motion/hypoxemia protocol, they found a wide range in sensitivity and specificity values. The Masimo Radical performed much better than all four of the other models tested.
