Brief Summary

Baseline SpO2 was 84.64% (range 76-89%). Light blue, dark blue and black colors showed a statistically significant increase the SpO2 values. The mean SpO2 differences were highest in light blue (SpO2 difference was 6.58 (1.54) ,CI 3.56- 9.61, P less than 0.001), dark blue (SpO2 difference was 6.15 (1.57),CI 3.07-9.23, P less than 0.001) and black (SpO2 difference was 4.76 (1.54), CI 1.74-7.78, P 0.002) respectively. While orange, red and nude pink did not affect SpO2 values.
