Official V5 objective
Describe the measurement of the partial pressure of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide and oxy-haemoglobin and/or deoxy-haemoglobin saturation including: a. methods of measurement; pulse oximetry and co-oximetry, b. limitations and potential sources of error of each, c. methods used to minimise error and artefact including the need for calibration.
