Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999
Pulse oximetry is one of the most commonly applied technologies in acute and critical care. It has the potential to continuously monitor pulmonary function, avoid unnecessary blood gases, and alert clinicians to hypoxemic events that are not readily apparent by physical assessment. Due to these advantages, pulse oximetry has a firm place in health care.

Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2006
Pulse oximetry is now a ubiquitous and essential tool of modern medicine, and while it is a relatively recent invention, the technology has rapidly matured since the first commercially available oximeters were introduced in the 1970s. This review seeks to provide an overview of the basic physical operation of the probe and discuss its limitations ...

Correlation of Pulse Oximetry and Co-oximetry
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1997Pulse oximetry is an important advancement in noninvasive monitoring and assessment of arterial blood oxygenation. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and pulse oximetry (SpO2) in critically ill patients using the ear and finger probes.

The pulse oximeter is a device for non-invasive, continuous measurement of oxygen saturation. As such it is arguably one of the most important intraoperative monitors at the disposal of anaesthetists, and efforts are being made to make pulse oximeters available at all operating locations throughout the world [Walker et al. 2009].

Chest, 2015
We read with great interest the article by Aldrich et al 1 in this issue of CHEST (see page 1484 ). In 2003, we reported our trial of measuring noninvasive arterial saturation during a pulseless situation (cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB]) by inducing a simulated pulse.

Introduction to Pulse Oximetry
British Journal of Perioperative Nursing (United Kingdom), 2003James Wright, now a qualified ODP, wrote this article while a trainee. He shares with us the history of pulse oximetry. This article in our student series describes the theoretical knowledge behind pulse oximetry and highlights its value in safely monitoring patients both pre- and postoperatively, as well as the need for proper daily calibration.

Nursing Standard, 2008
Pulse oximetry is a widely used, non-invasive technique for assessing arterial oxygenation by measuring oxygen saturation in peripheral blood vessels. It is a simple technique, but needs to be carried out with care to obtain reliable results. This article provides guidance on the safe use of pulse oximetry and identifies some of the advantages and ...

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1998
Within the last ten years several groups adapted pulse oximetry to be used in the fetus. The obvious advantage of this technology is the fact that a biochemical parameter--the arterial oxygen saturation--can be measured continuously during delivery. Nevertheless, the continuous information about the fetal oxygenation during delivery has a couple of ...

Respiratory dysfunction is common in veterinary patients and various techniques have been developed to rapidly and accurately monitor pulmonary gas exchange. Pulse oximetry and capnometry are tools that allow for continuous evaluation of pulmonary function. Methodology, indications, and limitations of pulse oximetry and capnometry are discussed in this
