It follows that it is most useful to monitor heart rate and blood pressure, also pulse oximetry to detect hypoxia.
Clinical observation can be usefully supplemented by pulse oximetry, blood pressure measurement, ECG and end tidal CO 2 monitoring when available.
On review, the advisors thought monitoring pulse oximetry was specifically indicated in a further 27 cases.
Flow-volume loops and pulse oximetry are diagnostic tools used to measure how much air flows through the breathing passages and how much oxygen is available.
With the exception of arterial blood gas, pulse oximetry, and total lung capacity, pulmonary function tests are performed using spirometry (from the Greco-Latin term meaning "to measure breathing").
