Operating Principle of Oximeter
Pulse oximeter is a device which measures the rate of two important hemoglobins Hb in blood. Arterial oxygen saturation is defined as the ratio of cHbO2 (the concentration of HbO2)and cHbO2+cHb(the concentration of Hb). SpO2 shows with the type of percentage, and calculates as follows:
With above information, a calibrated oximeter can measure accurately the level of the oxygen in blood, which can provide some valuable data for the patient’s healthy state and the state of the patient who is recovering from anaesthesia and operation.
