A reflectance oximeter probe is suitably disposed at a distal end of an elongated, substantially flat, semi-rigid chassis configured for insertion into an anatomical canal, for example in the esophagus, rectum or vaginal cavity of a human patient. The reflectance probe may also be suitably employed in many veterinary applications. An electrical connector extends from a proximal end of the chassis and terminates at a plug configured for mechanical and electrical connection to a pulse oximeter box. The reflectance probe includes first and second LED's mounted to an emitter assembly and a detector assembly spaced apart from and mounted substantially coplanar with respect to the emitter assembly. The reflectance probe generates and transmits signals to the oximeter box, the signals indicative of the dynamic oxygen saturation level of the blood perfused mucus membrane tissue.
