ELSO⚖️ Racial discrepancy in detecting hypoxemia in VV #ECMO, ELSO - Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry analysis demonstrating that Hispanic & Black VV #ECLS patients experienced occult hypoxemia more than White patients.
⚠️ Carefully monitor SaO2 during ECMO support in these patients, especially if high #extracorporeal blood flow & lactates, due to the risk for occult hypoxemia.

Characterizing the Racial Discrepancy in Hypoxemia Detection in VV-ECMO: An ELSO Registry Analysis
Importance: Skin pigmentation influences peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by pulse oximetry compared to the arterial saturation of oxygen (SaO2) measured via arterial blood gas analysis. However, data on SpO2-SaO2 discrepancy are ...
