Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Pulse oximetry enables continuous monitoring of functional oxyhemoglobin saturation using an accurate, noninvasive and real-time probe. A continuous pulse oximeter reading allows the early warning sign of hypoxia. As a result, the loss of airway patency, potential loss of oxygen supply from the anesthetic machine, or intrinsic shunting can be clinically detected early to prevent any disastrous outcome.
