[Measuring pulse oximetry at the patient's bedside].
Pulse oximetry, or oxygen saturation, reflects the quantity of oxygen fixed to the haemoglobin. It is commonly measured in a non invasive way, with the aid of a digital sensor oximeter. The results can be distorted by a number of parameters, it is therefore necessary to eliminate the risk of errors and to check the results against clinical data.
