Abstract
Oxygen is an essential element for human survival, as it is the primary “fuel” for cells in our body. Thus, maintaining a safe level of oxygen in the blood-stream is crucial. Medical professionals refer to the lack of oxygen in the blood as hypoxemia. Severe episodes of hypoxemia can arise from cardiac arrest, suffocation, or drowning and can cause loss of consciousness, rapid organ failure, and death [1]. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 and has become a serious global health issue. More than 676 million people have been infected and over six million deaths worldwide were due to COVID-19-related complications [2].
期刊介绍:
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine is a bimonthly publication. It publishes in February, April, June, August, October, and December of each year. The magazine covers a wide variety of topics in instrumentation, measurement, and systems that measure or instrument equipment or other systems. The magazine has the goal of providing readable introductions and overviews of technology in instrumentation and measurement to a wide engineering audience. It does this through articles, tutorials, columns, and departments. Its goal is to cross disciplines to encourage further research and development in instrumentation and measurement.
