Abstract (English): The pulse oximeter, a common device in different hospital areas, especially in critical areas, is used most of the time to assess the patient's respiratory status; however, current evidence shows that this device can provide us with valuable information on hemodynamic behavior, the response of the autonomic nervous system, and the therapy given to critically ill patients. It is for this reason that knowing the fundamentals of oximetry, values beyond oxygenation such as the plethysmographic waveform and the perfusion index results in an important amount of information for decision making and the response to the treatments performed.

Abstract (Spanish): El oxímetro de pulso, un dispositivo común en diferentes áreas hospitalarias, sobre todo en áreas críticas, es utilizado la mayoría de las ocasiones para evaluar el estado respiratorio del paciente; sin embargo, la evidencia actual muestra que este dispositivo nos puede brindar información valiosa del comportamiento hemodinámico, la respuesta del sistema nervioso autónomo y la terapéutica que se realiza al paciente crítico. Es por este motivo, que conocer los fundamentos de la oximetría, los valores más allá de la oxigenación como la forma de onda pletismográfica y el índice de perfusión resulta en una cantidad de información importante para la toma de decisiones y la respuesta a los tratamientos realizados.
