Chapter 10 Monitoring SpO

10.1 Overview

SpO is based on the absorption of pulse blood oxygen to red and infrared light by means of

finger sensor and SpO
determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood. If, for example, 97% of the
hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells of the arterial blood combine with oxygen, then the
blood has a SpO oxygen saturation of 97%. The SpO

The SpO numeric shows the percentage of hemoglobin molecules which have combined with

oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin. The SpO

3 Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase the risk of unexpected change of
dermal condition such as abnormal sensitivity, rubescence, vesicle, repressive
putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to check the sensor placement of
neonate and patient of poor perfusion or immature dermogram by light collimation and
proper attaching strictly according to changes of the skin. More frequent examinations
may be required for different patients.
4 Tissue damage may be caused by incorrect application or prolonged measurement
duration using the sensor (more than 4 hours). Inspect the sensor periodically
according to the sensor user manual.

sensors or extension cables may cause improper monitor performance and/or minor
personal injury.
