LESSON

Oxygen Saturation

In this Introduction to Clinical Observations and Oxygen Saturation lesson the learner will be taught how to interact with objects in VR before progressing onto Oxygen Saturation. The Learner will gain a comprehensive understanding of the levels of oxygen saturation and any conditions and limitations that affect levels. The learner will be guided through the correct procedure for taking an oxygen saturation reading before completing for themselves and recording on the NEWS2 chart. 

Learning Objectives

Effectively demonstrate proficiency in using pulse oximeters to measure oxygen saturation accurately.
Be able to identify factors that can affect oxygen saturation readings and methods to mitigate them.
Interpret oxygen saturation readings within the context of the patient's overall condition and medical history.
