DEFINITION
◦ Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level
(oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is an easy, painless
measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your
body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs.
FUNCTION :
◦ Pulse oximetry may be used to see if there is enough oxygen in the blood.
This information is needed in many kinds of situations. It may be used:
◦ During or after surgery or procedures that use sedation
◦ To see how well lung medicines are working
◦ To check a person’s ability to handle increased activity levels
◦ To see if a ventilator is needed to help with breathing, or to see how well it’s
working
◦ To check a person has moments when breathing stops during sleep (sleep
apnea)
 TYPES
1. A handheld pulse oxymeter is a pulse oxymeter 2. Portable pulse oxymeter or finger pulse oxymeter
where the probe is connected to the screen to point to that is widely used. A screen that shows the pulse
measurement results. oxymeter measurements results are on the fingers.

Next, open the pulse oxymeter

clamp with the right or left hand

Third, the screen will turn on and

make sure the battery is full
Pulse oxymeter will automatically
calculate oxygen saturation.

The number 96 shows SpO2 %

While the second line in the
middle of the SpO2 % and BPM
pulse rate is the pulse rate
indicator. The number 72 shows the BPM
pulse rateThe

After measuring, wash your fingers and

trim the pulse oxymeter Second, press the operation button
at the bottom of the screen
After that, enter the index finger of
the right or left hand into the finger
opening.
