BackgroundBackground The theory of measuring OThe theory of measuring O22 levels in levels in
blood began in the 1930’s.blood began in the 1930’s.– Observe the skin tonesObserve the skin tones
Bluish skin color = Low Oxygen level = Bluish skin color = Low Oxygen level = BADBAD
The Modern Pulse Oximeter was The Modern Pulse Oximeter was invented in 1978 by Dr. William New at invented in 1978 by Dr. William New at Stanford University.Stanford University.– It was a breakthrough that paved the way for It was a breakthrough that paved the way for
