How THIS DEVICE Measures Your Oxygen Levels | How Does A Pulse Oximeter Work?

This is a different style of vid from you Ollie, be keen for you to do more in this series. Cheers

lateral flow assays next!!

Great succinct explanation! I think it's worth adding that pulse oximetry, by the very mechanism you described, has proven less effective in those with darker skin, particularly at lower saturations. Lots of papers discussing this but yet to be suitably addressed AFAIK.

I think it's definitely something to bear in mind as a HCP or a patient yourself. For the most part it's a very useful adhoc tool though.

Ohh it was a great help for us during covid pandemic

Thank you for this . Great explanation. I never understood how It worked before.

Yes, thanks for the content, very informative. I just wanted to add that when these were invented they were a virtual godsend. The alternative is a traditional arterial blood gas which involved a very large needle stuck deeply in the patients wrist or groin to access an artery. The procedure was painful under the best of circumstances and extremely painful for children, the elderly, and those with diminished capacity because struggle against the pain turned pain into agony.

Really exciting to see Dr Ollie making interesting videos of this nature! Would love to see more!

Only 945 views??? I thought your videos would be in the 6 figures (you produce some high quality videos!!). As a medical student myself I find your videos really useful to watch, can’t wait to see what’s next :))

Nice, many thanks UK

Thank you 😻

I just Ordered 1 from Amazon a couple of hours a go i want to know if the super beet chews really work

Disappointed you added pronouns!! Not needed.

Low saturation is not a disease but an index, you can have good saturation and heartbeat and die of pain in COPD pulmonary emphysema and pleural fibrosis plus ankylosing spondylitis

I'm using a TempIR sensor to monitor effects on SpO2 of stopping smoking. Reading tonight after a full fag ash day is 90% (with a +/-2 variation), 78 bpm

Thanks. Always wondered how this works.

good

Thank you. Would like to see more as you keep things simple. 😊

Thanks Ollie. Well explained

hi olly i’m stan

Thanks for the video, Very informative! As far as the person complaining about pronouns, ignore them as you have done. I believe everyone has the right to self-expression, no matter their political views .

Can someone tell me what the PI index in % mean?
