If you only had access to one PT tool or device for your eval and/or treatment session what would it be?  

 In this episode, Dr. Burriesci delves into the item she’d (likely) bring to a desert island, a pulse oximeter. She explains the invaluable information that can come from this device and it’s not specifically O2 related.  Yes a pulse ox will give you a quick read on oxygen and heart rate, and yes there are common causes for inaccuracies, but what else is it inadvertently telling you? Listen in for a few clinical tips that you likely won’t find in any textbook.  

 And after this episode, you’ll have to let her know if you too will take the pulse ox with you on your deserted island.

In this episode:

- Normal values of spO2

- Common causes of inaccurate readings via pulse-ox

- Atrial fibrillation

- Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)
