Monitoring Vitals Remotely Role of Pulse Oximeters in Healthcare
A pulse oximeter is a small, portable device that monitors the amount of oxygen in a patient's blood. It works non-invasively by shining a light through the skin and measuring how much light is absorbed by arterial blood. Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs less infrared light than deoxygenated hemoglobin, allowing the pulse oximeter to calculate oximetry readings. Readings are typically reported as...
