This is a prospective study to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining a pulse oximetry ready from the oropharynx with a standard oximeter probe that has been attached to an oral airway or a tongue blade. The study will compare the values from the peripheral pulse oximeter on a finger, toe, foot or hand with the that from the oropharyngeal oximeter. The study will also compare the saturation from an arterial blood gas (ABG) collected as standard of care with that obtained from the oropharyngeal oximeter.

Oropharyngeal vs Extremity Saturation
Difference between the average oropharyngeal oxygen saturation and the average extremity oxygen saturation which were recorded every 2 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.
Time frame: Baseline
ABG PaO2
The arterial blood gas (ABG) partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) collected at the same time as the oropharyngeal oxygen saturation (SpO2) recording.
Time frame: Baseline
Oropharyngeal SpO2
The oropharyngeal oxygen saturation (SpO2) recorded at the same time as the arterial blood gas (ABG) partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) collection.
Time frame: Baseline
