Abstract: Let $R$ be a commutative and unital semi-local ring in which 2 is invertible. In this note, we show that anisotropic quadratic spaces over $R$ remain anisotropic after base change to any odd-degree finite '{e}tale extension of $R$. This generalization of the classical Artin-Springer theorem (concerning the situation where $R$ is a field) was previously established in the case where all residue fields of $R$ are infinite by I. Panin and U. Rehmann. The more general result presented here permits to extend a fundamental isotropy criterion of I. Panin and K. Pimenov for quadratic spaces over regular semi-local domains containing a field of characteristic $eq2$ to the case where the ring has at least one residue field which is finite.
