1.) Turn on.
2.) Place on finger (ensure a snug fit), usually the first finger (although any finger will work).
3.) Wait until reading appears.
You put it on the finger and push the button.
There are several sites that one can find more information about pulse oximetry. These sites include the pulse oximetry page of Wikipedia, World Health Organization, and Pulse Ox.
Pulse oximetry is the procedure for measuring oxygen saturation or level of oxygen in the blood. It is non-invasive and painless.
upper arm
First thing straight, you misspelled oximetry. Second thing is the definition of pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method allowing the monitoring of oxygenation of a patient's hemoglobin.
To determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin.
Analysis and implication of pulse oximerty findings
SPO2 or pulse oximetry
Yes as can the fingertips, toes and nose.
Pulse oximetry reading
Maybe you mean pulse oximetry. It is the measurement of oxygen in your blood. It is measured when they put that clip on the tip of your finger.
Noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; single determination
Factors that can affect a pulse oximetry reading include:bad circulation, shock, cardiac arrestanemiataking your blood pressure at the same time in the same limbDirty sensors on the machinenail polishexcess ambient lightan environment cold enough to affect blood flow through the limb
