- Venous pulse
- Placing the sensor on a user with a blood-pressure cuff, an arterial or intravascular catheter
- High blood pressure, severe vasoconstriction, acute anemia or hypothermia
- Heart failure
- Stress
- Poor pulse quality (low perfusion)
- Low level of hemoglobin.

3. INFORMATION

3.1. OXYGEN SATURATION (SPO )
2
Oxygen saturation is the level of oxygen in red blood cells after they pass through the lungs.
Many factors can affect the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen and decrease blood oxygen satu-
ration. A digital pulse oximeter is non-invasive and can help to monitor SpO

FALL IN PERIPHERAL CAPILLARY OXYGEN SATURATION DUE TO ALTITUDE
Please note : The following table gives information about the effects of different altitudes on oxygen
saturation levels as well as their effects on the human body. The following table does not apply to individuals
already suffering from certain illnesses (e.g. asthma, heart disease, respiratory diseases). In people already
suffering from these illnesses, the symptoms (e.g. hypoxia) may already occur at low altitudes.
