2. Overview
The pulse oxygen saturation is the percentage of HbO2 in the total Hb of
the blood, so-called the O2 concentration in the blood. It is an important
bio-parameter to the respiration. Many of the respiration disease will
cause hypoxemia, even endanger the patient's health. As a result, monitoring
the SpO2 is indispensable in the clinical rescuing. The traditional method
to measure SpO2 is to analyze the sample of the patient's blood, so can
get the partial pressure of oxygen and calculate the SpO2 by use the
blood-gas analyzer. This method is inconvenient and can not be used to
monitor continuously. For the purpose of measuring the SpO2 more easily
