Pulse oximetry is widely used as a noninvasive tool for continuous monitoring of artery oxygen saturation (SaO2) but pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) may overestimate arterial blood ...
Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...
Introduction Clinicians often obtain peripheral saturation (SpO2) readings by placing a finger probe sensor on the patient’s earlobe when a reading cannot be obtained from the finger. The accuracy of ...
