- Pulse oximetry is an optical method using two-wavelength reflectance from fingertips of the individual to provide data related to a health condition of the individual.
- the principle of pulse oximetry is based on the red and infrared light absorption characteristics of oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin. Oxygenated haemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and allows more red light to pass through. Deoxygenated (or reduced) haemoglobin absorbs more red light and allows more infrared light to pass through.
- Red light is in the 600-750 nm wavelength light band. Infrared light is in the 850-1000 nm wavelength light band.
- Pulse oximetry uses a light emitter with red and infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) that shines through a reasonably translucent site with good blood flow. Typical adult/pediatric sites are the finger, toe, pinna (top) or lobe of the ear. Infant sites are the foot or palm of the hand and the big toe or thumb.
