食指尖上夹一下,就能读出血液中的含氧量百分比和每分钟的脉搏跳动次数。这个是新冠感染后病人在家自测的一个主要指标。血氧含量低于93%,这个小咚咚就尖叫,就赶紧要上医院了。估计医院也是用这个小仪器读数作为给谁上氧气、上呼吸机的一项重要依据。

我家就买了一个,有备无患,经常拿出来测一下血氧含量和脉搏。

但是,BBC今早新闻报道,这个小机器在有色人种的指尖上读数不准,而且是偏高。

专家警告,一种旨在发现 Covid 患者氧气水平危险下降的早期迹象的设备在皮肤较深的人身上效果不佳。

因为这个仪器是西方人根据白人体质设计的,忽略了皮肤颜色对读数的影响。

NHS England 和药品监管机构 MHRA 表示,脉搏血氧仪有时可能会高估氧气水平。他们说,这些设备使光线穿过血液,皮肤色素沉着可能会影响光线的吸收方式。

建议任何有顾虑的人随着时间的推移寻找变化,而不是依赖单一的读数。

NHS England 正在发布更新指南,建议黑人、亚洲人和其他少数族裔的患者继续使用脉搏血氧仪,但要寻求医疗保健专业人士的建议。

不过,我觉得我们华人不用太担心,我觉得这个仪器读数偏差对华人影响应该没有对其他少数民族影响大,因为华人的指尖颜色和白人差别不是很大.
