  2. What Is a Normal Oxygen Level and How Can I Check Mine? - AOL

    One of those vital signs is blood oxygen level, and in the hospital, it’s measured with a pulse oximeter. Patients with Covid-19 can sometimes have relatively mild symptoms and seem to be ...

  3. Nasal cannula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cannula

    The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils curving toward the sinuses behind the nose, and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows.

  4. 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.

  5. Obligate aerobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obligate_aerobe

    They gather in the upper part of the test tube but not the very top. 5: Aerotolerant organisms do not require oxygen as they metabolise energy anaerobically. Unlike obligate anaerobes however, they are not poisoned by oxygen. They can be found evenly spread throughout the test tube. An obligate aerobe is an organism that requires oxygen to grow ...

  6. Oxygen sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor

    An oxygen analyser for breathing gas mixtures for diving. The type of oxygen sensor used in most underwater diving applications is the electro-galvanic oxygen sensor, a type of fuel cell, which is sometimes called an oxygen analyser or ppO 2 meter. They are used to measure the oxygen concentration of breathing gas mixes such as nitrox and ...

  7. Obligate anaerobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obligate_anaerobe

    4: Microaerophiles need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically. However, they are poisoned by high concentrations of oxygen. They gather in the upper part of the test tube but not the very top. 5: Aerotolerant organisms do not require oxygen and cannot utilise it even if present; they metabolise energy anaerobically. Unlike ...

  8. 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.
