Paediatric pulse oximeter. Close-up of the exposed light-emitting portion of a pulse oximeter, strapped to the foot of a baby boy being cared for in hospital. A pulse oximeter, also known as a blood oxygen meter, measures the pulse rate and oxygen concentration of the blood. It measures the oxygen concentration by measuring the absorption of light as it passes through the toe. This child is being treated for pneumonia.
