It also continuously measures heart rate and uses a light absorption technique to determine how much of the hemoglobin in arterial blood is saturated with oxygen (SpO2).<\/p>\n<p>?For example, if an SpO2 reading is 97%, it means 97% of the red blood cells read by the probe had fully saturated oxygen hemoglobin molecules and 3% did not.<br \/>\nA value below 95% indicates hypoxemia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2714Position: on a pigment-free tissue where skin contact can be made: mucous membranes such as the tongue and lip are used, but the foreskin, vulva, ear or space between the fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>\u2714 Reading problems during anaesthesia (usually detects lower data) can be caused by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hypotension (always monitor blood pressure);<\/li>\n<li>Drugs used for sedation (such as alpha 2-agonists);<\/li>\n<li>Vasoconstriction;<\/li>\n<li>Movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2714Limitations:<br \/>\nA limitation in SpO2 readings occurs in anemic animals where there are fewer but completely saturated red blood cells giving a normal SpO2, but overall there is still a reduced oxygen transport capacity because there is less hemoglobin.
