View Full Version : Pulse oxygen levels & anemia
|
PinkBananaz 02-22-2004, 08:20 PM I just read something saying that your pulse oxygen level will be off if your anemic..will it be higher or lower? I'm on & off anemic, fluctuating between severe to moderate to nonexistant anemia.. so i'm just wondering if my p/o levels have been off before.. hc85 02-23-2004, 02:51 AM The only way for them to really know if your pulse ox is higher or lower than what the monitor reads is for them to draw a blood gas. *steps back and shivers in fear* jp3892 02-23-2004, 05:00 AM *steps back and shivers in fear* Fraid of the needle then, eh hc?! swimfast989 02-23-2004, 02:43 PM Fraid of the needle then, eh hc?! Blood gas = pain = bloody mess... :runs away: |
