What are the components of an oximeter?

What is the best way to determine if a baby requires supplemental oxygen?

The best way to determine if a baby requires supplemental oxygen is through monitoring their oxygen saturation levels using a pulse oximeter. If the oxygen saturation levels are consistently below normal (usually below 90%), supplemental oxygen may be necessary. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper assessment and recommendations.


How do you measure oxgen in the blood?

There are a number of them: the Pulse Oximeter- requiresa pulse so is placed on an artery. It uses red and infrared light to measure the colour of the blood. If blood is oxygenated it is bright red and absorbs/reflects light differently to darker blood which is deoxygenated. Benarons monitor is similar to pulse oximeter but uses shorter light (blue and green). This is used to monitor capillaries and does not require a pulse hence is suitable when perforning things like bypass surgey.


What is SaO2?
