In asymptomatic newborns, the sensitivity of pulse oximetry plus clinical assessment was 93.2% (95% CI 87.9–96.2) for critical congenital heart disease and 90.2% (86.4–93.0) for major disease. The addition of pulse oximetry to clinical assessment improved sensitivity for detection of critical ...
The human eye cannot be trusted to make a trustworthy judgment when it comes to detecting a person’s oxygenation status. If you have hypoxia resulting from heart conditions or breathing problems you should get a personal pulse oximeter for in-house use to get objective results that are more r...
The decision was made that a systematic review was not feasible due to the lack of data concerning the influence of pulse oximetry on patient management and on the extent of oximetry use in the general practice setting. In this article, a selection of studies is presented looking into its ...
Physical properties used in pulse oximetry Pulse oximetry uses light to work out oxygen saturation. Light is emitted from light sources which goes across the pulse oximeter probe and reaches the light detector. If a finger is placed in between the light source and the light detector, the light...
According to Dr. Fred Furgang in his article "Hypoxia, Oxygen, and Pulse Oximetry," a pilot should use supplemental oxygen if the oximeter reading is below 90%, maintain at 91-92% level when doing remedial tasks and above 93% with increased workload. The amount of oxygen in the air, wh...
Colloquially, the terms pulse, pulse rate and heart rate are mostly used synonymously. In this text, we mainly use the word pulse rate unless explicitly referring to heart rate. The pulse rate and heart rate are usually in agreement. However, deviations may occur if certain cardiac activities ...
