With
pulse oximetry, you can find out how much oxygen is in your blood. If
you or one of your loved ones have been suffering from a cardiovascular
or respiratory condition, we suggest that you opt for a pulse oximeter.
Read on to know more about the functionalitiy and benefits of using one.
What is pulse oximetry?
Your
organs need oxygen to work properly. Without oxygen, your body cells
will not be able to function properly and you will die soon. As a matter
of fact, cell death may cause a lot of symptoms and the organ may fail
before long.
Actually, your body supplies oxygen to your organs
once the oxygen has been filtered via the lungs. Then the lungs provide
oxygen with your blood through the hemoglobin proteins found in your red
blood cells.
What pulse oximetry does is measure how much oxygen
is in the hemoglobin proteins. This is known as oxygen saturation, which
shows how much oxygen your organs are getting. Normally, it is between
95 and 100 percent. Moreover, if this level falls below 90%, you should
get medical assistance as soon as possible.
How pulse oximeters work
Actually,
these devices can be attached to a foot, wrist, finger or other devices
for measuring the oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation may fall below
the minimum level due to many reasons, such as drowning, choking,
infections, and suffocation, just to name a few.
These devices
shine a light through some transparent area of your skin and then the
light shines through to the powerful sensor fitted on the other side of
the wrist. Now, the amount of light that your blood absorbs shows the
oxygen saturation. Actually, this device doesn't get the measurement
directly. Actually, it makes use of a complex equation for estimating
the exact level.
Who is it designed for?
Pulse
oximeters are a great choice for those with certain conditions that may
reduce the oxygen saturation. If you have such a condition, your doctor
may recommend a good device so you can keep an eye on your oxygen
saturation levels at all times.
With this device, you can also
find out more about how effective your breathing interventions like
ventilators and oxygen therapy are. Moreover, some doctors recommend
their patients to use this device especially patients that have cardiac
or respiratory conditions.
If you are interested in buying one,
you can opt for one even if you have no health conditions. As a matter
of fact, some companies market these devices to parents with young
infants. This gives them peace of mind that their infant is in good
health. However, if you use these devices, make sure you don't rely
solely on this device. Subjective experience is still important.
Long
story short, if you have difficulty breathing, dizziness or a cardiac
condition, we suggest that you use a pulse oximeter in addition to
getting medical attention. Hopefully, this device will make your life
easier and you will be able to live your life to the fullest.
