Might I suggest that you read the post on URASB regarding oxymeters and
caution regardingt their use, by Peter Saundby (the BGA medical advisor,
and retired wing commander from the RAF medical branch with significant
knowledge in regard to aeromedicine).

Severe "thread drift" from darksucking light bulbs, but I did read the
posting, and hope Peter will elaborate on what comprises "extreme
caution should be exercised when using oximetry at altitude because it
can offer a false assurance", if he thinks pilots would be better off
leaving the oximeter at home (given the difficulty of exercising extreme
caution when hypoxic), and what he might suggest in place of an oximeter
to detect or avoid hypoxia.
