  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. Transcutaneous oxygen measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_oxygen...

    To perform the test, one set of electrodes are placed on viable tissue (e.g. the chest) as a control and a second set is placed around the tissue in question (e.g. legs or feet). The electrodes may mildly heat the skin to increase blood flow into the area. Oxygen may also be given to the patient to see if that increases oxygen levels in the tissue.

    Many tools can be used to monitor remission in rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28: Disease Activity Score of 28 joints ( DAS28 ) is widely used as an indicator of RA disease activity and response to treatment.

  6. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    Bottled oxygen, more broadly known as high pressure compressed oxygen, medical oxygen, and aviator's oxygen, is oxygen in small, portable, high-pressure storage cylinders. For aviation, the weight of the cylinder is usually not critical, and the choice of material may be affected by economic considerations such as purchase price and useful ...

  7. Oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_therapy

    Oxygen therapy, also referred to as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as medical treatment. [1] Supplemental oxygen can also refer to the use of oxygen enriched air at altitude. Acute indications for therapy include hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels), carbon monoxide toxicity and cluster headache .

  8. 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).

  9. Joint cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_cracking

    The cracking of joints, especially knuckles, was long believed to lead to arthritis and other joint problems. However, this is not supported by medical research. [2] [3] The cracking mechanism and the resulting sound is caused by dissolved gas (nitrogen gas) cavitation bubbles suddenly collapsing inside the joints. This happens when the joint ...
