oximetry

• “Pulse oximetry is a painless way to monitor the oxygen level of the blood.”

  The Guardian: Heart test could save babies' lives

• “Diagnosis may require some or all of these tests: echocardiogram (also called "echo" or ultrasound) - sound waves create an image of the heart electrocardiogram (ECG) - a record of the electrical activity of the heart chest X-ray cardiac catheterization - a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into the heart through the large veins in the leg pulse oximetry - a painless way to monitor the oxygen content of the blood”

  Pulmonary Atresia

• “Pediatricians from other hospitals refer newborns to the Cardiac Center when they notice symptoms or abnormal values on laboratory testing such as pulse oximetry.”

  Transposition of the Great Arteries

• “Masimo sued Tyco Healthcare and others, alleging antitrust violations in markets for pulse oximetry, medical devices used to measure the concentration of oxygen in the blood.”
