A blood-oxygen monitor displays the percentage of arterial hemoglobin in the oxyhemoglobin configuration. Acceptable normal ranges for patients without COPD with a hypoxic drive problem are from 95 to 99 percent, those with a hypoxic drive problem would expect values to be between 88 to 94 percent, values of 100 percent can indicate carbon monoxide poisoning.
Readings of 95% to 100% are normal at sea level. Even at the 8,000' elevation of Mammoth Lakes, the oxygen saturation for a flatlander should still be 90% or so.
97-100% are normal readings for the average person.
Hi i am Phil the science guy and I create black holes in my yard answer the what is mass of a black hole
people say time travel is not real but the earth is time travel right now but now but we don't it.Phil the science guy

People on here have given the SpO% reading rather than the answer you requested, which was the Perfusion Index reading (or PI%). Some Oximeters don't have the facility for PI% readings and just give Oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
An answer I found elsewhere says that the higher the number, of PI% the better, which makes sense. 20% is the highest most units go to.
Another source said that it's a personal thing, as health conditions (such as Reynaud's or Diabetes) can affect perfusion in the extremities. My friend's reading was over 10%, whereas mine is generally between 5.9 & 10, depending on what I'm doing. 6.6% is my 'resting' average.
It was suggested that users get a 'base line' for themselves and use that as the starting point, but to be honest, as a lot of oximeters don't have a PI% facility, maybe just go off the blood saturation level...

No, a pulse oximeter does not help people with history of heart attacks. In fact, it may worsen it. A pulse oximetry changes the rate of the pulses, which may develop and contribute to a heart attack.
That is not a normal resting pulse for humans.
Yes, the normal pulse rate varies from 60 to 100. Anything between that is normal.
By definition it wouldn't be "normal" to have a high pulse rate. If it was, it wouldn't be called high. But the pulse can be high for several reasons, nervousness, exertion, fighting off a cold...
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.
Pulse oximetry reading
There are several sites that one can find more information about pulse oximetry. These sites include the pulse oximetry page of Wikipedia, World Health Organization, and Pulse Ox.
Factors that can affect a pulse oximetry reading include:bad circulation, shock, cardiac arrestanemiataking your blood pressure at the same time in the same limbDirty sensors on the machinenail polishexcess ambient lightan environment cold enough to affect blood flow through the limb
Pulse oximetry is the procedure for measuring oxygen saturation or level of oxygen in the blood. It is non-invasive and painless.
A pulse oximetry (pulse ox) is a small clothes pin looking piece of equipment, usually placed on the patients finger, used to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. The pulse ox. is noninvasive, very inexpensive, readilyavailable and it provides instant results. If a pulse ox. reading is low then the caregiver would likely apply oxygen to the patient. If it is a high reading the caregiver would likely remove or decrease the amount of oxygen the patient is on. Because there are factors that can interfere with an accurate reading, there are other ways to test the oxygen levels in the blood.

First thing straight, you misspelled oximetry. Second thing is the definition of pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method allowing the monitoring of oxygenation of a patient's hemoglobin.
A normal result is a patient that demonstrates adequate oxygenation through pulse oximetry, blood gas tests, and clinical observation.
Pulse oximetry measures the amount of oxygen that is being perfused in a person's blood. It is important in individuals with impaired lung function to be sure that their body is getting enough oxygen. It is an excellent tool to be sure that a person is breathing effectively, because if a person's oxygen level drops too low, they can lose consciousness, have brain damage, and eventually enter into respiratory failure and die.
