What does the oximeter measure?
An oximeter measures the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin (Hb) in the arterial blood with each heart
beat. The peripheral oxygen saturation of healthy people should be more than 95% at all times,
including during anaesthesia. This value is called the SpO
Using the oximeter during anaesthesia
The oximeter detects falling oxygen saturation accurately. If the SpO
there is a failure of oxygenation developing (hypoxia). During anaesthesia this is most commonly
caused by a problem with the patient's airway or breathing. In patients on the ward pneumonia,
asthma and pulmonary oedema are possible causes of hypoxia. Any process that interferes with
oxygen being breathed in and transferred to the blood in the lung may cause hypoxia.
The SpO
should be 95% or above. If the SpO

Turning on the unit for the first time
The oximeter is supplied with a one piece rechargeable battery. Place it carefully in the oximeter the
correct way round. When necessary, charge it by placing the oximeter in the charging cradle and
connect the charger to the electricity supply as shown (figure 2-4). Further details about battery care
are given in section 7 of the handbook.

Testing the oximeter
Turn the oximeter on using the on-off button. Carefully connect the probe to the unit. Note that the
probe connection needs to be lined up correctly to fit the oximeter. Put the probe on your finger to
check that it is working. The correct orientation is with the 'nail' on the probe lined up with your nail.
After a short time, the oximeter will start to display your pulse wave, oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
The oximeter display
The
oximeter has a number of features – these are described in the instruction manual. In
particular note that the display can be read in horizontal or vertical formats. Try pressing the right
button when the display is in the vertical position – note how the waveform is removed but the figures
are made larger.
