First Evaluation of a Newly Constructed Underwater Pulse Oximeter for Use in Breath-Holding Activities

First Evaluation of a Newly Constructed Underwater Pulse Oximeter for Use in Breath-Holding Activities

Studying risk factors in freediving, such as hypoxic blackout, requires development of new methods to enable remote underwater monitoring of physiological variables. We aimed to construct and evaluate a new water- and pressure proof pulse oximeter for use in freediving research. The study consisted...
