Pulse oximetry measures the saturation of hemoglobin. That saturation isn’t necessarily oxygen. This is important to understand, especially for EMS workers. If someone was exposed to CO, the pulse ox can still read at 100%, because their hemoglobin is saturated… with CO (not O2). If your patient is an exposure patient and you throw a pulse ox on them and see 100% and assume they’re good, your patient may very well die.
Love these quick simple videos too. I passed my NCLEX-RN on Thursday and have been watching your videos for a few months through the end of school.

I just bought an Innovo Finger Pulse Oximeter and after seeing the reading I thought to myself, what does this mean? So glad I found your KZread! Extremely helpful description of what those numbers mean. The good news is, I'm in good health! Thanks so much for your recording!!!
I've binged watched so many videos on your channel! I used many of these while studying for my CCRN in 2020, and am now using them again! Such good material, very concise and explained so easily. Thank you!

SpO2 is used to determine hypoxemia not hypoxia. Hypoxia describes low oxygen in the tissues, hypoxemia describes low oxygen in the blood.

What does the PI% reading mean? Could you do a video as it is hard to find information about it.
Done.

Is it possible to discern any cardiomyopathies via pleth? Or is it only good for heartrate? Love these vids man..keep it going!

Interesting question. I know theres some research going into using the pleth to analyze BP and SV, so potentially, but nothing that I've seen personally yet.

@@ICUAdvantage Thanks for the feedback...If possible, this would be revolutionary if pleth readings could be used to identify patterns associated w arrhythmias, MIs, etc..would save alot of lives w such a proactive screening approach..will have to delve more into this!
Is there something like pulse index
I also call it a "sticky finger probe". I get made fun of a lot at work for it! I'm glad I'm not the only one

Thanks for the video. How do we explain the dicrotic notch (aka aortic valve closure) sometimes visible on the down curve since we do not measure pressure with the pulse oxymetry ?
Pulse oximetry is a Quantitative value for Hypoxemia. Not hypoxia. Bonus points :)
Pleth refers to plethora which is Greek for an excess of blood.
My God... I don't want to be a DR. I just want to know how to read this pulse oximeter.
