How to fill out 08-overnight pulse oximetry

To fill out 08-overnight pulse oximetry, follow these steps:

1. Gather the necessary equipment: You will need a pulse oximeter device, which measures the oxygen saturation levels in your blood, and a recording sheet or log to document the readings.
2. Prepare the patient: Ensure that the patient is in a comfortable position, with the oximeter securely attached to their finger or earlobe. It is important that the patient remains still during the overnight monitoring, so advise them to limit movements as much as possible.
3. Set the device: Turn on the pulse oximeter and adjust any necessary settings, such as the alarm thresholds or recording intervals. Consult the user manual of the specific device to accurately configure it.
4. Begin recording: Once the device is set up, start the recording feature. This will typically involve pressing a designated button or selecting a specific option on the device display.
5. Monitor throughout the night: Leave the pulse oximeter attached to the patient's finger or earlobe overnight. The device will continuously monitor the oxygen saturation levels and record the data at regular intervals specified during setup.
6. Document the readings: Use the provided recording sheet or log to document the readings that the pulse oximeter shows throughout the night. Note the time of each reading, the oxygen saturation percentage, and any additional relevant information.
7. End the recording: In the morning, after the designated monitoring period is complete, stop the recording feature on the pulse oximeter. Remove the device from the patient's finger or earlobe.
8. Analyze the results: Take the recorded readings and interpret them in the context of the patient's overall health. Look for any significant changes or patterns that might require further medical attention.
