Most of us get the gist of it but the subtleties and details are possibly not appreciated. The aim of this article is to present an understandable theory of pulse - oximetry and to relate that to every day use of a standard pulse -oximeter. A pulse -oximeter is a special type of oximeter. An oximeter is a device that measures the amount of saturated haemoglobin in blood. An oximeter uses blood that has been removed from a patient and placed into a measuring cell where its oxygen content is accurately measured.
