Assignment Pulseoximetry

This document discusses pulse oximetry, which is a non-invasive method to monitor hemoglobin saturation using pulse oximeters. Pulse oximeters use light-emitting diodes to transmit red and infrared light through tissues and detect the amount of light absorption with a photodiode. By measuring light absorption at the two wavelengths, the concentrations of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin can be calculated. Pulse oximeters are useful for monitoring oxygen saturation levels in patients with respiratory or cardiac issues. However, pulse oximeters have limitations and may provide inaccurate readings under certain conditions.
