[en] The aim of this study was to evaluate the practicality and accuracy of different attachment sites for the optodes of a pulse oximeter (measuring arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation) in healthy cattle, and to assess the accuracy of pulse oximetry in diseased cattle with low haemoglobin oxygen saturation values caused by respiratory disease. The tait the nasal septum and the genital mucosa of females provided a continuous, stable and intense signal. The smallest bias, and no significant difference between measurements of arterial haemoglobin (mSp02) with the pulse oximeter and measurements of arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaOZ) with a blood gas analyser was obtained when the probe was attached to the tail. This site was used to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry in animais with respiratory disease. There was a small bias between the measurements of Sa02 and mSp02, with a tendency for pulse oximetry to underestimate higher values and to overestimate lower values. The precision of pulse oximetry decreased substantially with the values for Sa02 <80 per cent, which lies outside the clinically relevant range
