Excessive patient movement
Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood
pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
Exposure to the chamber with High pressure
oxygen
There is an arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
Blood vessel contraction caused by peripheral vessel
hyperkinesias or body temperature decreasing
5 Factors causing low SpO
2
Measuring value (pathology
reason)
Hypoxemia disease, functional lack of HbO
2
Pigmentation or abnormal oxyhemoglobin level
Abnormal oxyhemoglobin variation
Methemoglobin disease
Sulfhemoglobinemia or arterial occlusion exists near
sensor
Obvious venous pulsations
Peripheral arterial pulsation becomes weak
Peripheral blood supply is not enough
