Working mechanism and utility of pulse oximeter
Journal Title: International Journal of Sport, Exercise and Health Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Oximetry is a medical diagnostic procedure, deals with the study of blood oxygen level of patients and to identify the need of medical assistance. The pulse oximeter measures the oxygen saturation in the blood. Understanding the working method of oximeter is helpful for the easy and conventional utility of oximetry in critically ill conditions to interpret the pathology. In recent days there are different types of oximeter available used in various conditions. For the enhanced study of oximeter, it requires a thorough knowledge of physics and basic electronics. Oximeter can be used by healthy sports professionals as well as many pathologic conditions like critical care units of health centers.
