Pulse 120 to 150, SpO2 97% (SpO2= saturation derived from a pulse oximeter, a 2 wavelength, red and infrared, non-invasive probe). The heartrate will change as the infant ages, slowing down, while the oxygen level should remain constant throughout adulthood. An SpO2 of 97% is technically as high as it can go on room air, as there is a normal 3% anatomical shunt. This can however be increased if there is exposure to CoHb (Carbon Monoxide) which has an affinity for the heme ring of the red blood cell 210-240 times that of oxygen. Pulse oximetry has limitations and cannot differentiate between oxyhemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin. That requires photospectronomy.

Is pulse rate of 166 normal?
That is not a normal resting pulse for humans.
Which of the following individuals would have the fastest pulse rate?
infant
Is 92 Normal Pulse rate?
Yes, the normal pulse rate varies from 60 to 100. Anything between that is normal.
Where to assess heart rate in infant during CPR?
Use the brachial pulse to to assess the heart rate in an infant during CPR.
What is a pulse oximeter or what does it measure?
An oximeter is a device to measure the oxygen saturation level in blood. I believe that a "pulse" oximeter has a sensor to measure pulse as well, though it wouldn't surprise me if some devices not having such a sensor but otherwise looking and working like a pulse oximeter were casually called that too.
What are the normal pulse and respirations for a 7 month old infant?
30-40
What does the pulse oximeter tell the physician about the patient?
your oxygen level and pulse rate
Where is the normal point to take an infant pulse?
Apparently the foot is the main place but am not certain.
What are the normal pulse ratr for a below one year old infant?
The normal pulse rate for an infant tends to be a lot higher than an adult, teenager, or child. The range is usually between 140 -160 beats per minute.
What is pulse oximetry?
Pulse oximetry is the procedure for measuring oxygen saturation or level of oxygen in the blood. It is non-invasive and painless.
What does a pulse plethysmograph measure?
A pulse plethysmograph is also known as a pulse volume recorder. A pulse plethysmograph measures the oxygen saturation level or SpO2.
What pulse should you check in infant BLS?
A pulse check is performed on the brachial artery for an infant.
Blood test for oxygen level by finger?
SPO2 or pulse oximetry
What is the name of the machine used to check your oxygen level?
A pulse oximeter provides non-invasive testing of oxygen saturation levels in the blood.
When performing CPR on an infant you should check the pulse in the?
A pulse check is performed on the brachial artery for an infant.
Is 100 percent blood oxygen level normal or bad?
If you are talking about the pulse oximetry level (device is usually clipped to a person's finger or ear lobe), 100% is as good as it gets! That is perfect.
Is a pulse of 130 normal for a 3 month old infant?
For an infant the acceptable range is 120-160 beats per minute so 130 shouldn't be a cause to worry.
