PRINCIPLES OF OXIMETRY:
Monitoring for HYPOXEMIA. A Pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device for continuous monitoring of a patients arterial blood oxygen Saturation.
Hypoxemia refers to the insufficient oxygenation of arterial blood: hypoxemia refers to the more severe condition of insufficient oxygen in the cells or tissues. These conditions can lead to the serious tissue damage, brain damage, and even death. The pulse oximeter provides continuous, real-time information about oxygenation. It can help detect potentially serious problems early, while there is time to intervene.

How Pulse Oximetry Works:
The technology of pulse oximetry is sophisticated, yet the principles behind it are simple and apply to humans and animals alike. It is based on the fact that well-oxygenated blood appears bright red, and poorly oxygenated blood appears dark red in colour.
A pulse oximetry sensor is applied to a monitoring site such as a patients tongue or toe. One side of the sensor contains two light-emitting diodes (LED);one transmits light in the red range, the other in the infrared range. A photodetector on the other side of the sensor receives the red and infrared light and measures the amount of each that has been absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin in arterial blood. (Oxygenated haemoglobin absorbs more infrared light; deoxygenated haemoglobin absorbs more red lights.)
SpO2 is the common term for oxygen saturation readings obtained from a pulse oximeter. The pulse oximeter computes SpO2 based on the amount of light that reaches the photodetector. It also detects and measures the pulse.
