Comparative Analysis of Oxygen Saturation by Pulse Oximetry and Arterial Blood Gas in Hypoxemic Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Introduction:  Oxygen saturation is essential for medical care and is closely regulated within the body. Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is used to evaluate critically ill individuals' ventilation, oxygenation, acid-base status, and metabolic condition. Pulse oximetry is an easy and non-invasive way to measure the status of oxygen saturation non-invasively in clinical settings and provides a quick and precise assessment of oxygenation and reduces medical errors.
