Re: Pulse Oximeter

I was in hospital yesterday, an experience I feel cut up about, and had bp, pulse and O2 levels tested. It was a fingertip sensor and I was 99 or 100. I asked the nurse if she needed the equipment immediately but she didn't. Hooray! I therefore did a couple of statics (having warmed up a bit beforehand) and the second was 3:30, near my PB, and the oximeter read 91 at the end. After the static it didn't take long to pop back up to 100. Interestingly, during the easy phase, about 2 to 2:30 in total, it read 100, which makes sense, I suppose as I had no desire to breath.
