There is an error in the first three sentences under the subheading “Cut-Off value of SpO2” in the Results section. The correct sentences are: We hypothesized that the cut-off value of each pulse oximeter to detect hypoxemia (SaO2< = 90% or PaO2< = 60 mmHg) was different. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of each pulse oximeter to detect hypoxemia. As shown in Table 5, the specificity ([patients with SaO2< = 90 and SpO2< = 90] / [patients with SaO2< = 90]) by Masimo Radical was 45.5% and the NPV ([patients with SaO2< = 90 and SpO2< = 90] / [patients with SpO2>90]) by Nihonkohden 3100 was 65.0%.

There are also errors in the footnotes of Tables 5 and 6. Please view the corrected Tables 5 and 6 here.
