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.
