What is a fingertip pulse oximeter? 😊
.
#Fingertip #pulse #oximeter is a device to measure the level of oxygen in the bloodstream.
This machine is small, puts batteries in the shape of a clip. for clamping on fingers
While measuring, there will be no pain and no scars. Usually used in hospitals
.
But you can buy it and use it at home as well. I recommend you to buy it. because many patients There was almost no shortness of breath until it was almost normal.
But when measuring blood oxygen, it is found that it is much lower than normal. Read the value after the number has stabilized for about 30 seconds.
.
Which the SpO2 value should not be lower than 95% ……. if it measures 98, this is considered ok.
And if the measurement comes out 90-94%, be careful of abnormal symptoms.
but!!! If less than 90% is considered hypoxia. Please notify the hospital or related medical personnel.
(The other number, BP, will tell you the heart rate.)
.
Many patients infected with COVID Oxygen measurements were much lower than normal. But the body still looks like normal.
But in good health, there will be severe tiredness. until respiratory failure need to intubate or died shortly after showing symptoms
should be kept at home especially homes with children and the elderly. will be able to help check the family in another way.
