SpO
The pulse amplitude indicator shows the quality of the SpO
is derived from the patient's plethysmograph signal, it varies with the pulse of
the patient. If the patient has a very low signal the pulse amplitude indicator
does not vary through its full range. If the signal is noisy, the pulse amplitude
indicator does not vary rhythmically with the pulse.
The pulse rate is derived from the pulse oximeter. It should correlate closely
with the patient's heart rate.
