On this week’s episode of Critical Care Time we had back to the basics again, this time with a focus on the ubiquitous Pulse Oximeter! We will talk all things Pulse Ox from how it generates values, how reliable those values are, what factors can confound your pulse ox and how best to use this powerful - yet imperfect - tool to deliver the best care possible for your patients. Check it out and let us know what you think!
