Two portable battery powered pulse oximeters were tested on Joint Services expeditions to the Sahara Desert and the Andes mountains. Their ability to measure changes in pulse, oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin (SaO2), their durability, ease of use, power systems and ancillary equipment were therefore evaluated in two extreme conditions. Although durable, easy to use and with good monito...

Sub-Saharan Africa consists of 43 countries south of the Sahara (Figure 1). This area spans latitudes 13°N to 33°S with an average annual daytime temperature of 21 °C. The UV Index is often higher than 10 (extreme) and rarely drops below 7, except at high altitudes and towards the tip of South Africa in the winter months (June, July and August).
