Pulse oximetry is a widely used, noninvasive instrument for monitoring oxygen saturation. Its use, however, is limited in the setting of dyshemoglobinemias. We report a case of hemoglobin Rothschild in an Asian patient diagnosed as a result of routine pulse oximetry. This case reiterates the limitations of pulse oximetry in patients with dyshemoglobinemias, while introducing its use as a case-finding tool for such conditions.
脉搏血氧饱和度测定法是一种广泛使用的无创监测氧饱和度的仪器。然而,其在血红蛋白异常血症的情况下应用有限。我们报告了一例亚洲患者因常规脉搏血氧饱和度测定法而被诊断出患有罗斯柴尔德血红蛋白血症的病例。该病例重申了脉搏血氧饱和度测定法在血红蛋白异常血症患者中的局限性,同时介绍了其作为此类病症病例发现工具的用途。
