6.4.5 Setting SpO
2
Sensitivity
The SpO
2
reading is the average of data collected within a specific time. The shorter the
averaging time is, the quicker the pulse oximeter responds to the changes in the animal’s
oxygen saturation level. Contrarily, the longer the averaging time is, the slower the
pulse oximeter responds to the changes in the animal’s oxygen saturation level, but the
measurement accuracy will be improved. When a critical animal is monitored, selecting
shorter averaging time will help understanding the animal’s state.
