Practice Plan

  • SpO2 <90% from any site; or
  • SpO2 <95% from the right hand or either foot
  • If initial SpO2 measurement is <95%, proceed with up to two additional SpO2 measurements.
  • If the second and third SpO2 measurements read >95% the screening is negative.
  • If the second and third SpO2 measurements are <95% the screening is positive.
  • >3% difference in SpO2 measurements between the right hand and either foot (repeat three times as described in the bullet above)
Report screening results per state and federal requirements
