Introduction
The WHO Pulse Oximetry Training Manual is part of the Safe Surgery Saves Lives initiative, aiming to improve anaesthesia safety.
The manual provides essential information for anaesthesia providers who are not experienced in using pulse oximetry, covering how oximeters work, how to use them, and how to respond to hypoxia detection.
Content Overview
The manual includes a glossary of terms, understanding the physiology of oxygen transport, knowing the pulse oximeter, understanding how oxygen desaturation occurs, and practical use of the pulse oximeter.
It also covers what the alarms tell you, factors that can interfere with oximeter readings, and what is not measured by the pulse oximeter.
