Course content
• Pulse Oximetry: A non-invasive method of monitoring oxygen saturation and heart rate. •
• SpO2: A measure of oxygen saturation in arterial blood, typically expressed as a percentage. •
• Pulse Rate: The number of heartbeats per minute, often measured in beats per minute (bpm). •
• Heart Rate Variability (HRV): The variation in time between heartbeats, used to assess cardiovascular health. •
• Respiratory Rate: The number of breaths per minute, often measured in breaths per minute (bpm). •
• Oxygen Saturation Thresholds: Critical values for SpO2, such as 90% and 95%, which indicate potential oxygen deprivation. •
• Pulse Oximeter Calibration: The process of adjusting the device to ensure accurate readings. •
• Patient Positioning: The importance of positioning patients to ensure accurate and reliable pulse oximetry readings. •
• Interference and Artifacts: Common sources of error in pulse oximetry readings, such as motion and ambient light. •
• Pulse Oximetry in Special Populations: The application of pulse oximetry in specific patient groups, such as neonates and critically ill patients.
