Extract
Pulse oximeters are widely used in nursing practice. They are easy to read, need no user calibration and are simple to operate. The ease of use may give rise to the view that nurses have no difficulties using pulse oximetry monitoring in patient care because it is straightforward and only requires the ‘application’ of bioscientific knowledge gained in pre-registration education.
