Abstract
Oximetry is a non-invasive method of measuring the oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin in the blood. The percentage of the hemoglobin that is saturated with four oxygen molecules is a good indicator of the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. In a healthy human, nearly 100% of the hemoglobin is saturated all of the time in the arteries.
