ECG: Evaluate for ischemia, right heart strain. Blood transfusion Reduces the overall proportion of HbS. Overestimates arterial oxygen saturation. Up to 3x less accurate in black patients. When the clinical picture does not match the SpO 2 , get an ABG. Use a co-oximeter to measure different types of Hb.
