Student Nurse Must-Know: How a Pulse Oximeter Really Works

If you’re a student nurse in the UK, you NEED to understand pulse oximetry.
This carousel breaks down SpO₂, how the sensor works, why red & infrared light matter, what affects accuracy, and the normal oxygen saturation ranges you’ll use every single day on placement.

You’ll learn:
• What a pulse oximeter actually measures
• How light absorption shows oxygenated vs deoxygenated Hb
• When SpO₂ readings may be wrong (cold hands, nail varnish, CO exposure, motion)
• Normal SpO₂ ranges for adults, COPD patients & red-flag hypoxia
• Where you’ll use SpO₂ monitoring: A-E assessments, NEWS2 scoring, ED, ICU, Respiratory, AMU
• The R.I.P.P.L.E mnemonic to remember key concepts quickly

Perfect for OSCE prep, placement revision, and building confidence with real-world clinical assessments.
