Effect of nail polish with & without glitter on oxygen saturation determined by pulse oximetry in healthy students of Qom University of Medical Sciences and Health Services in 2012-2013
Pulse oximetry is the most common technique to monitor oxygen saturation (SpO2). Different brands and colors of nail polish can change the oxygen saturation reading. The aim of the present study is to analyse the effects of different colours of glitter nail polish on oxygen saturation measurements using pulse oximetry.
This study is a prospective experimental research that 30 healthy volunteers with SpO2 ≥95% at baseline breathing room air and no obvious problems with nail integrity and peripheral perfusion will be participated.
Data collection will be completed from healthy students in the Qom University of Medical Sciences and Health Services from healthy students in 2012-13. In this study, each volunteer will be placed in a chair for 10 minutes, maintaining the limbs at rest. After this time period, initial baseline measurements of SpO2 will be taken from each participant using all 10 fingers with clean, unpolished nail beds.
Then, each individual will be allowed to randomly choose which color of glitter polish applies to each nail as long as all 10 colors will be used. The colors of polish will be randomly applied to all fingers in two uniform coats. After this time period, the SpO2 will be again measured.
After a week, all interventional procedures will be made with nail polish without glitter on the volunteers.
