SpO2, or peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, is a measurement used in patient monitors to indicate the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. It is a non-invasive metric obtained through pulse oximetry, typically using a sensor placed on a patient's fingertip or earlobe, and helps assess respiratory function and detect hypoxemia.
