oximetry measurement of the oxygen content of arterial blood. pulse oximetry use of a spectrophotoelectric instrument applied to the skin which measures pulse rate and the percentage of oxygenated and reduced hemoglobin. pulse oximetry Oxygen saturation measurement, SaO Critical care
A method used to determine the O2 saturation–SaO2 and desaturation of blood in a continuous noninvasive fashion, through the noninvasive assessment of arterial Hb-bound O2 saturation, based on the combined techniques of optical plethysmography and spectrophotometry; PO is accurate within 5% of a standard co-oximeter when the SaO2 is in the 70-100% range; accuracy plummets below 70%; PO is used to detect O2 desaturation accurately, inexpensively, quickly, safely, and is useful in endoscopy, recovery, intensive care, and for evaluating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, for which the gold standard is the costly and onerous nocturnal polysomnography How to thank TFD for its existence?

Slimdome, adapted from Japanese technology designed to detoxify the body, provides benefits beyond weight loss, such as improved skin tone, reduction of joint pain and inflammation, blood oxygenation, increased circulation, and the release of stored heavy metals and toxins. Therapeutic effects include: weight loss, fat loss, improved skin tone, reduction of joint pain and inflammation, blood oxygenation and increased circulation. Graham McClue, PhD, one of the scientists on the team that has been testing Holofiber, will be providing an overview of Holofiber and sharing the results of an independent double-blind study to evaluate Holofiber's impact on the blood's circulation to the extremities of diabetics, as well as new research on non-diabetics that has shown Holofiber's ability to increase blood oxygenation by as much as 25%. |
