   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. 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 ...

   Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an abnormally large increase in heart rate upon sitting up or standing. [1] POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that can lead to a variety of symptoms, [10] including lightheadedness, brain fog, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, headaches, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, nausea ...

   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 ]
