Pulse Oximeter

It’s an electronic device that clips onto a patient’s finger to measure heart rate and oxygen saturation in his or her red blood cells. It can rapidly detect even small changes in oxygen levels. These levels show how efficiently blood is carrying oxygen to the extremities furthest from your heart, including your arms and legs.

Use of pulse oximeter

• Monitoring Oxygen Levels – Measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) to ensure the body is receiving adequate oxygen.
• Managing Respiratory Conditions – Useful for individuals with asthma, COPD, pneumonia, or other lung diseases to track oxygen levels and detect issues early.
• Post-Surgery Recovery – Helps monitor oxygen levels in patients recovering from surgery or under anesthesia.
• Fitness and Sports Monitoring – Athletes use it during high-intensity workouts or activities at high altitudes to track oxygen efficiency.
• Emergency Situations – Quick assessment tool for medical professionals in emergencies to evaluate oxygen levels and heart rate.
