Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metrological detection, and particularly to a multifunctional ear-hanging oximeter and body temperature monitor. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, blood oxygen saturation is the percentage of the volume of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) bound to oxygen in the blood accounting for the volume of all bindable hemoglobin (Hb), that is, the concentration of blood oxygen in the blood. It is an important physiological parameter of the respiratory and circulatory systems. An oximeter can non-invasively and continuously monitor the arterial blood oxygen saturation of the human body and has been widely used in clinical treatment and research, especially in cases such as respiratory system regulatory dysfunction, surgical trauma, and intensive care.
