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.
No, Patient's gender is not a continuous variable. It is discrete variable.
The medical term for noninvasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation is pulse oximetry. This technique involves using a device called a pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood by analyzing the color changes in the pulsating capillaries.
Assess the patient first, then reposition the sensor, ask the patient to take some deep breaths, and then take next steps based on the clinical situation.
Follow-up monitoring includes blood gas measurements and pulse oximetry tests.
An overnight stay in a sleep laboratory; while the patient sleeps they are observed and monitored by electroencephalography, electro-oculography, thermistors, pulse oximetry, electrocardiogram.
The answer depends on the clinical situation. Depending on the patient's age and health, and the context of the test, anything below 90-95% could be a cause for concern.
Pulse oximetry is a common noninvasive procedure to measure the oxygen saturation level of a patient's blood. It involves placing a sensor on a finger or earlobe to measure the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in the blood.
he patient should not smoke 24 hours prior to pulse oximetry. Fingernail polish should be removed if the oximeter will be attached to the finger
Pulse oximetry measures the amount of oxygen that is being perfused in a person's blood. It is important in individuals with impaired lung function to be sure that their body is getting enough oxygen. It is an excellent tool to be sure that a person is breathing effectively, because if a person's oxygen level drops too low, they can lose consciousness, have brain damage, and eventually enter into respiratory failure and die.
A pulse oximetry (pulse ox) is a small clothes pin looking piece of equipment, usually placed on the patients finger, used to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. The pulse ox. is noninvasive, very inexpensive, readilyavailable and it provides instant results. If a pulse ox. reading is low then the caregiver would likely apply oxygen to the patient. If it is a high reading the caregiver would likely remove or decrease the amount of oxygen the patient is on. Because there are factors that can interfere with an accurate reading, there are other ways to test the oxygen levels in the blood.
