A SpO2 sensor on the forehead is a device used to measure blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) by emitting light through the skin and detecting how much is absorbed by the blood. This type of sensor is particularly useful for patients with poor peripheral circulation, as it can provide more reliable readings than fingertip sensors. It's often used in medical settings to monitor oxygenation in critically ill patients or during anesthesia.
