Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Pulse oximetry cannot distinguish carboxyhemoglobin, so arterial COHb must be measured rather than relying on SpO₂. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
When to use
Oxygen endpoints, hyperbaric-oxygen indications and thresholds, and hydroxocobalamin use follow current guidelines and local protocols; this page does not list them.
