ABSTRACT

Human body uses inspired oxygen to sustain aerobic metabolism. An appropriate and accurate measurement of this clinical parameter poses one of the most useful tools in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of pathologies. In the following review, we shall discuss the concept and physiological fundamentals of oxygenation, and the most commonly used methods to measure it, according to which many medical decisions are taken.
