Pulse oximetry is a procedure used to measure the oxygen level (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. It is considered to be a noninvasive, painless, general indicator of oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues (such as the finger, earlobe, or nose).
What does a pulse oximeter measure? 1  The oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in arterial blood-which is a measure of the average amount of oxygen bound to each haemoglobin molecule. 2  The percentage saturation is given as a digital readout. 3  The pulse rate-in beats per minute, averaged over 5 to 20 seconds.
