Figure 1 Mean Spo2 of painted fingernails (colored bars) of one hand vs unpainted corresponding fingernails (clear bars) of the opposite hand in seven subjects. Measurements were taken with the probe in the standard top-to-bottom position (top, A), where the path of the emitted light is perpendicular to the fingernail bed; or in the side-to-side position (bottom, B), where the emitted light is parallel to the nail bed. *p < 0.05.
