3. How to use

3.1. What is oxygen saturation (SpO 2 )?
Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of
hemglobin in arterial blood that is loaded with
oxygen. This is a very important parameter for the
respiratory circulation system. Many respiratory
diseases can result in lower oxygen saturation
within human blood.
The following factors can reduce oxygen saturation:
• Automatic regulation of organ dysfunction
caused by anesthesia
• Intensive postoperative trauma
• Injuries caused by some medical examinations
These situations may result in light-headedness,
asthenia and vomiting. Therefore, it is very
important to know the oxygen saturation of a
patient so that doctors can detect problems in a
timely manner.
