Research Notes on Pulse Oximeter


A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph. It is often attached to a medical monitor so staff can see a patient's oxygenation at all times....read more at Wikipedia

Fast Facts:

  • Allows doctors to tell how much carbon monoxide is in a patients blood1
  • Oxygen Levels of 95% to 100% are considered normal2
  • Electric pulse oximeters (and finger pulse oximeters) are available which store several readings.3
