Brief summary
The objective is to verify that there is a decrease in the pulsed oxygen saturation with the digital sensor. That is, the drop in oxygen saturation in COPD patients during inhalation is real and not due to an artifact of the measuring tool, because oximeters need a quality pulsatile signal to properly measure oxygen saturation
Interventions
OTHERMeasurements of oxygen saturation and finger pressure during deep inspiration
Measurements during deep inspiration of oxygen saturation with pulse oximeter and finger pressure with pressure cuff
