The role of pulse oximetry in chiropractic practice: a rationale for its use.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Pulse oximetry is used regularly to assess oxygen saturation levels. The objective of this commentary is to discuss a rationale for using pulse oximetry in chiropractic practice. DISCUSSION: Pulse oximetry may offer doctors of chiropractic a way to monitor patients' oxygen saturation levels. Quantification of saturation values with heart rate may give clinical aid to the management of chiropractic patients. Markedly reduced saturation levels may necessitate medical referral, whereas mildly reduced levels could lead to changes in chiropractic management.
CONCLUSIONS: Pulse oximetry has the potential to be an integral part of chiropractic practice.
