Pulse Oximetry 2

  • Gently position the sensor so that it does not cause restriction to arterial flow or venous return because the pulse oximeter is unable to distinguish between true arterial pulsations and fluid waves (e.g., venous engorgement or fluid accumulation)
  • Restriction of arterial blood flow can cause a falsely low value and lead to vascular compromise , causing potential loss of viable tissues.
  • Edema from restriction of venous return can cause venous pulsation. Evaluating the site above the level of the heart reduces the possibility of venous pulsation (Moving the sensor to another site on a routine schedule also reduces tissue compromise
