The most accurate place to place a pulse oximeter is typically on the fingertip, as it has a good blood flow and is easily accessible, making it ideal for obtaining reliable readings. Alternatively, it can also be placed on the earlobe or toe if the fingertip is not suitable, but these sites may be slightly less accurate due to variations in blood perfusion. Proper placement and ensuring the sensor is secure and not obstructed by nail polish or dirt are crucial for accurate measurements.
