Distribution of Oxygen Partial Pressures in Native Capillary Fingertip Blood Samples From a Large Diabetes Patient Population
Authors' conclusion
This data set, unique in terms of size, gathered more than 14 years at four separate clinical sites, provides a robust and comprehensive representation of an unmanipulated pO2 fingertip capillary sample distribution, which should be of interest for physiological reasons, but also from a medical device development perspective, in which the effect of pO2 on device performance may be an important design consideration.
