                                            Oxygen saturation is an essential element in the management and understanding of an individual's health. Oxygen is tightly regulated within the body because hypoxemia can lead to many acute adverse effects on individual organ systems. These include the brain, heart, and kidneys.
A pulse oximeter can be used to measure oxygen saturation. It is a noninvasive device that is placed over a person's finger. It measures light wavelengths to determine the ratio of the current levels of oxygenated hemoglobin to deoxygenated hemoglobin
