TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Oximetry A1 - Freeman, Brian S. A1 - Berger, Jeffrey S. PY - 2024 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam, 2nd Edition 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.
