Pulse oximetry tests are the most common way to measure oxygen levels in the blood. It is non-invasive and can be used to diagnose conditions such as sleep apnea, heart attacks, anemia, and asthma. Intracardiac oximetry is used to measure oxygen levels deeper in the body, while oximetry tests on blood samples outside the body […]
Cerebral oximetry measures oxygen saturation in the brain and is used in surgery to monitor patients’ neurological health. It is non-invasive and can be used in sleep studies. The equipment measures changes in light absorption and provides readings on key values. Cerebral oximetry is the measurement of oxygen saturation in the brain. This organ requires […]
