Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive measure of the percentage of hemoglobin sites in the red blood cells that are bound to oxygen, or oxyhemoglobin. Capnography measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in the expired air, Co-oximetry is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of different forms of hemoglobin in the blood, and arterial blood gas analysis measures the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in the arterial blood. None of these measures specifically indicate the percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen.
