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.

   Pulse oximeters came along in the 1980s as an easy and painless alternative. The device shines a light through the fingertip, seeking out oxygen-rich blood.

5. Masimo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masimo

   Pulse oximetry uses two light emitting diodes (LEDs), one red and one infrared, to measure the absorption of light and translates that into the percentage of hemoglobin molecules that are bound to oxygen, which is called arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2). Conventional pulse oximetry assumes that arterial blood is the only blood moving ...

6. 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).

7. Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

   Dissolved oxygen levels required by various species in the Chesapeake Bay (US). In aquatic environments, oxygen saturation is a ratio of the concentration of "dissolved oxygen" (DO, O 2), to the maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in that water body, at the temperature and pressure which constitute stable equilibrium conditions.
