What is Pulse Oximetry?

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of measuring the oxygenation of a patient's hemoglobin. A Pulse Oximeter, such as the Invacare Handheld Pulse Oximeter, is placed across a thin part of the patient's body, such as a finger, and a light containing both red and infrared wavelengths is passed from one side to the other. The change of absorption is measured and used to calculate the level of oxygen in the patient's blood.

Pulse oximetry data is used when a patient's blood oxygenation is unstable, such as in intensive care and emergency departments of hospitals. Patients on oxygen therapy use Pulse Oximeters to insure that their treatments are effective while pilots in unpressurized aircraft use them to help prevent the possibility of blackouts. The Invacare Handheld Pulse Oximeter can also be used by those with asthma or heart conditions.
