Abstract:
Pulse oximetry is a valuable method of monitoring a patient's oxygenation levels and is an increasingly common test. It is important that any health-care professional conducting pulse oximetry is aware of the various factors that may influence the results obtained, ranging from incorrect use of the equipment to the effect of the patient's condition.
