Because of the thread drift I have started a new thread "Oximetry".
W.J. (Bill) Dean (U.K.). Remove "ic" to reply. "Eric Greenwell" wrote in message ... Derrick Steed wrote: This is exactly why Bill Daniels and I recommend pilots carry and use an oximeter at all times, even while in the club house. This is especially=20 important in high elevation areas, like Colorado.=20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
