What is Understanding Pulse Oximetry Basics about?
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive procedure that uses a clip-like sensor placed on the body to measure oxygen saturation levels in the blood. Oxygen saturation should be above 95% but may be lower in those with respiratory or heart disease. The pulse oximeter works by transmitting infrared and red light through the body and calculating the differences in how oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor hemoglobin absorb each light type to determine oxygen saturation percentage. It is used to assess oxygen levels for various
