Calculating Functional Obsolescence in Cost Approach Regarding a functional obsolescence deficiency that lacks something, the calculation is the difference between the reproduction cost with the curable item and without it, as of the date of appraisal.Note that this is reproduction cost and not replacement cost.Functional obsolescence is the excess cost of adding the item in question, such as an additional bathroom or the new kitchen, to the existing house compared to what it would have cost at the time of construction.Since it is an added item, only the cost new is utilized.unctional obsolescence is the excess cost of adding the item in question, such as an additional bathroom or the new kitchen, to the existing house compared to what it would have cost at the time of construction.

A: Blood oxygen level is measured using pulse oximetry, a noninvasive procedure designed to monitor the delivery of oxygen to peripheral tissue, says Johns Hopkins Medicine. Pulse oximetry uses hemoglobin coloration and blood flow pulsation to measure the blood oxygen level.
Pulse oximetry measures solely hemoglobin saturation, not ventilation and is not a complete measure of respiratory sufficiency. It is not a substitute for blood gases checked in a laboratory, because it gives no indication of base deficit, carbon dioxide levels, blood pH, or bicarbonate (HCO 3 â) concentration.ince pulse oximetry only measures the percentage of bound hemoglobin, a falsely high or falsely low reading will occur when hemoglobin binds to something other than oxygen: 1  Hemoglobin has a higher affinity to carbon monoxide than oxygen, and a high reading may occur despite the patient actually being hypoxemic.
