Low perfusion: In physiology, perfusion is the process of a body
delivering blood to a capillary bed in its biological tissue. Under the
condition of low perfusion, the measurement of non-invasive saturation
of pulse-blood oxygen can be low.

Plethysmograph: Instrument for measuring changes in volume
within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in
the amount of blood or air it contains).
