Pulse oximetry is a quick, non-invasive test that measures the amount of oxygen circulating in your bloodstream. Oxygen levels provide important insight into how effectively your lungs are delivering oxygen to your body, which can impact your energy levels, endurance, and overall wellbeing.
This simple measurement helps your care team assess your respiratory health, monitor chronic lung conditions, and determine whether additional testing or treatment adjustments may be beneficial.
Why it's Ordered
• To evaluate oxygen levels in patients experiencing shortness of breath or fatigue.
• To monitor chronic lung conditions such as COPD or interstitial lung disease.
• To support treatment decisions or medication adjustments.
• To track oxygen levels over time during follow-up care.
What to Expect
A small sensor will be gently placed on your finger to measure your oxygen saturation and heart rate. The test is painless and takes only a few moments to complete. You can sit comfortably and breathe normally while the device collects the readings. Our team will ensure the sensor is positioned correctly and that you feel at ease throughout the process.

Pulse oximetry is a quick, gentle, and non-invasive test that measures how much oxygen is being carried in your blood. Your oxygen level gives helpful information about how well your lungs are delivering oxygen to your body, which can affect things like your energy, activity tolerance, and overall well-being. This simple measurement is often done in conjunction with pulmonary function testing and/or an arterial blood gas (ABG), and helps your care team monitor respiratory conditions, assess your lung health over time, and determine whether further testing or treatment adjustments may be beneficial.
