2. CO-oximeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CO-oximeter

   Finger tip carboxyhemoglobin saturation monitor.. A CO-oximeter is a device that measures the oxygen carrying state of hemoglobin in a blood specimen, including oxygen-carrying hemoglobin (O2Hb), non-oxygen-carrying but normal hemoglobin (HHb) (formerly, but incorrectly, referred to as 'reduced' hemoglobin), as well as the dyshemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).

3. Pulse oximetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_oximetry

   A pulse oximeter probe applied to a person's finger. A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmogram that may be further processed into other measurements.

   The Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE was an inducement prize contest announced on May 10, 2011, sponsored by Qualcomm Foundation. It officially launched on January 10, 2012. [1] The $10 million prize is awarded for creating a mobile device that can "diagnose patients better than or equal to a panel of board certified physicians". [2]

5. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

   Venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2) is the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin returning to the right side of the heart. It can be measured to see if oxygen delivery meets the tissues' demands. SvO 2 typically varies between 60% and 80%. [9] A lower value indicates that the body is in lack of oxygen, and ischemic diseases occur.

6. Monitoring (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitoring_(medicine)

   Pulse oximetry which involves measurement of the saturated percentage of oxygen in the blood, referred to as SpO2, and measured by an infrared finger cuff; Capnography, which involves CO 2 measurements, referred to as EtCO2 or end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration. The respiratory rate monitored as such is called AWRR or airway respiratory rate)

7. Talk:Pulse oximeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pulse_oximeter

   The term "blood gas monitor" is incorrect and confusing, so I moved this page to "pulse oximeter", which is a much more current term. I will adjust redirects. I don't think that the term "blood gas monitor" should redirect here, at least not with out clear information that pules oximeters do NOT measure blood gases.--
