With the help of a light detector sensor, a microprocessor compares and calculates the differences between oxygen-rich hemoglobin and oxygen-poor hemoglobin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is carried out by means of a pulse oximeter, which is placed as a clip usually on one of the fingers of the hand and assesses oxygenation, not the absolute value of oxygen in the blood and therefore does not replace blood gases tested in the laboratory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a useful test in Pulmonology, Cardiology, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, Surgery and Intensive Care Units.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Factors that can affect the result of pulse oximetry are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reduced blood flow in the peripheral vessels (vascular diseases).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Severe anemia.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cold extremities or sweating.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Smoking.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nail polish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=&#8221;align_left&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7679&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;400&#8243; parallax_scroll=&#8221;no&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1611681099362{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 1vh !important;}&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1496394309784{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":7904,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7908"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7908"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7949,"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7908\/revisions\/7949"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.pnevmonologo.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
