Core Tip	For clinicians utilizing pulse oximetry in practice, it’s essential to remember several key considerations. Firstly, ensure proper sensor placement on well-perfused areas. Minimize motion artifacts by securing the sensor snugly but not too tightly. Establish baseline oxygen saturation levels and consider patient-specific factors like age and medical conditions. Continuous monitoring is crucial in high-risk patients. Regularly maintain and calibrate equipment, replacing sensors as needed. Educate caregivers on the importance of pulse oximetry and proper usage. Lastly, readings should be accurately documented in patient records. By adhering to these core tips, healthcare providers can optimize the effectiveness of pulse oximetry monitoring and enhance patient care.
