pulsating vascular bed, any condition that

blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic
vascular resistance, may cause an inability
to determine accurate SpO
readings.
• Under certain clinical conditions, pulse
oximeters may display dashes if unable
to display SpO
Under these conditions, pulse oximeters
may also display erroneous values. These
conditions include, but are not limited to:
patient motion, low perfusion, cardiac

a combination of the above conditions.
Failure of the clinician to recognize the
