Pulse oxygen levels & anemia
I just read something saying that your pulse oxygen level will be off if your anemic..will it be higher or lower?
I'm on & off anemic, fluctuating between severe to moderate to nonexistant anemia.. so i'm just wondering if my p/o levels have been off before..

Re: Pulse oxygen levels & anemia
The only way for them to really know if your pulse ox is higher or lower than what the monitor reads is for them to draw a blood gas. *steps back and shivers in fear*
