2. 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.

3. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

   Example pulse oximeter. 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 ...

4. Capnography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capnography

   One shortcoming of measuring pulse oximetry alone is that administration of supplemental oxygen (ie. via nasal cannula) can delay desaturation in a patient if they stopped breathing, therefore delaying medical intervention. Capnography provides a rapid way to directly assess ventilation status and indirectly assess cardiac function.

6. Integrated pulmonary index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Pulmonary_Index

   Integrated pulmonary index (IPI) is a patient pulmonary index which uses information from capnography and pulse oximetry to provide a single value that describes the patient's respiratory status. IPI is used by clinicians to quickly assess the patient's respiratory status to determine the need for additional clinical assessment or intervention.
