Determination of arterial saturation of hemoglobin; the absorption of light by blood is measured spectroscopically.
A pulse oximeter is a small clip or wrap that is placed on your finger or ear that monitors how much oxygen you have in your body.
A test performed by placing a special light clip on your finger, earlobe, or forehead. The pulse oximeter uses light waves to indirectly measure the amount of oxygen in your blood. Pulse oximeters can measure oxygen levels continuously and can be performed while the patient is resting, walking, or even sleeping.
This is a simple method of measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood. It consists of a probe that is attached to the person's finger or ear lobe. This probe is then connected up to a computer that will display the amount of oxygen in the blood and the pulse rate. It can be used to detect and provide warnings about low levels of oxygen before any serious damage is done.
a non-invasive and painless way to measure the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Also an indicator of how well someone's breathing; healthy range is between about 96 and 100.
Transcutaneous (non-invasive) measurement of the degree of arterial oxygen saturation
a non invasive way of monitoring blood oxygenation
Measurement of the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in blood using a device that measures light transmittance through the skin.
a device used to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood.
Determination of percentage saturated oxygen in the blood
a noninvasive technique using a finger clip with optotransmitter and sensor to determine the approximate percentage of erythrocytes in arterial blood which carry oxygen to tissues - see SpO
assessment modality that measures the oxygen saturation level of the blood through a noninvasive sensor placed on a finger or ear lobe.
a method of measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood by means of a clip-like instrument that attaches to the finger.
a non-invasive test in which a device that clips on the finger measures the oxygen level in the blood. Q R
photoelectric device that measures the percent of oxygenation in the blood using a clip on the finger. Also measures the heart rate.
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method which allows health care providers to monitor the oxygenation of a patient's blood.
