2. Normal Pulse Oximetry Ranges and How to Take a Reading - AOL

   www.aol.com/normal-pulse-oximetry-ranges-reading...

   Normal Ranges. Most people have a normal resting pulse oximetry reading for oxygen saturation (SpO2) between 95% and 100%. This shows that your blood has an appropriate amount of oxygen. People at ...

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. [4]

4. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

   Pulse oximetry is a method used to estimate the percentage of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood. [10] This approximation to SaO 2 is designated SpO 2 (peripheral oxygen saturation). The pulse oximeter is a small device that clips to the body (typically a finger, an earlobe or an infant's foot) and displays its reading, or transfers it to ...

5. WHO Surgical Safety Checklist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Surgical_Safety_Checklist

   The World Health Organization (WHO) published the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in 2008 in order to increase the safety of patients undergoing surgery. [1] The checklist serves to remind the surgical team of important items to be performed before and after the surgical procedure in order to reduce adverse events such as surgical site infections or retained instruments.

6. Photoplethysmogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmogram

   A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is an optically obtained plethysmogram that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. [1][2] A PPG is often obtained by using a pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in light absorption. [3] A conventional pulse oximeter monitors the perfusion of blood to ...

   The pulse may vary due to exercise, fitness level, disease, emotions, and medications. [11] The pulse also varies with age. A newborn can have a heart rate of 100–⁠160 bpm, an infant (0–⁠5 months old) a heart rate of 90–⁠150 bpm, and a toddler (6–⁠12 months old) a heart rate of 80–140 bpm. [ 12 ]
