An alternative to a pulse oximeter is the use of the more traditional way of knowing the oxygen saturation of a patient, a process called arterial blood gases. In arterial blood gases or ABG, a doctor or physician draws blood from the patient in order to know how many oxygen molecules are in the blood system. From the artery, blood is taken and delivered to a lab for analysis. After several minutes, the report is given to the doctor to...more

GlaxoSmithKline Expecting to Pay Billions to Settle Paxil Lawsuit Birth Defect Cases GlaxoSmithKline Expecting to Pay Billions to Settle Paxil Lawsuit Birth Defect Cases It's not breaking news that the antidepressant, Paxil, marketed by the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, is linked to causing Birth Defects when taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. Since the October 2009 trial, that paid $2.5 million dollars to the family of a three-year-old boy who was born with heart defects, that ruled GSK officials "negligently failed to warn" about Paxil's birth defect risk, the door has been opened to hundreds of families that have suffered similar stories to file their cases against GSK. Expected settlements average more than $1.25 million for each family that brings a Paxil lawsuit against the manufacturer alleging birth defects. Common Paxil related birth defects include:Heart MalformationsAbdominal Birth DefectsCraniosynostosisClub Foot & Cleft-lipSee the Full List of Injuries and ConditionsPaxil makers expect to pay more than $2.4 billion for recent drug allegations and product liability lawsuit brought by consumers that have suffered at the hands of the neglectful...more
A pulse oximeter is a device used in the medical field to monitor the oxygen content of the patient's blood indirectly, as well as to monitor the changes on the blood volume in the skin. It is often plugged in to a medical monitor, producing a photoplethysmograph, so the medic can see the oxygenation of the patient at all times. Most monitors...more
Pulse oximetry is a medical procedure used in measuring a person's oxygen saturation level. In order to measure this, a pulse oximeter will be used. Pulse oximeters measure the blood oxygen saturation when the device is attached to the fingertip, toe or earlobe of the patient who need monitoring. Aside from the blood saturation level, the...more
Medics use a pulse oximeter for measuring the saturation of oxygen in blood. The acceptable percentage of oxygen is from 95% to 100%. The oximeter is widely used for measuring blood oxygenation since it is nonintrusive as medics are not required to draw blood from the patient to measure oxygen levels. In most medical facilities, pulse oximeters are attached to monitors in order to provide continuous monitoring of the patients' oxygen levels.A pair of light emitting diodes makes up the sensing unit of the oximeter. One of the diodes emits a red light and the other emits an infrared light. A clip holds one light on either side, and is attached to a translucent body part, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. The diodes then send pulses of light, which are absorbed at varying rates, depending on whether the blood is oxygenated or deoxygenated.The pulse oximeter makes use of fixed ratio in order to determine the blood oxygenation percentage. The oximeter only measures the oxygen levels in blood, disregarding skin tissues, since the wavelengths from the light respond directly to the pulse. The arterial walls expand and contract as the heart beats, which the light responds...more
