Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sickle cell anemia does not result in falsely high hemoglobin oxygen saturation (HbO2) readings with a laboratory hemoximeter. Hemoximeters measure the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in blood samples. Conditions like high levels of fetal hemoglobin, elevated bilirubin levels, and a dirty cuvette chamber can interfere with the accuracy of the measurement, but sickle cell anemia, which alters the shape of red blood cells, does not directly cause falsely high HbO2 readings.
