A lack of oxygen can only be seen with the naked eye when cyanosis occurs.
Most of the time, the lack of oxygen arises from breathing difficulties that are caused by illnesses or any side effects of medication or drugs.
With the help of technical aids, however, an oxygen deficiency can also be determined even before cyanosis: Pulse oximetry or pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method for determining arterial oxygen saturation.
​
For a long time, doctors could only measure oxygen saturation by examining blood samples.
Only since the 1980s has pulse oximetry been used as a non-invasive method in routine clinical practice.
The oxygen saturation indicates what percentage of the hemoglobin is loaded with oxygen.
The oxygen saturation determined by means of pulse oximetry should normally lie between 93% and 99% and should not fall below the 90% mark.
Pulse oximetry is part of the standard monitoring of patients both in emergency services, in intensive care units and in anesthesia . It is particularly important when administering drugs such as anesthetics that can affect consciousness and breathing. In addition, pulse oximetry enables the doctor to detect an oxygen deficiency in acute lung diseases such as an asthma attack or pneumonia. There are practical, small, portable devices for emergency medical services that enable measurements to be taken while on the move.
