The pulse oximeter measures SATURATED, that is, saturated with KISLOROD. A pulse oximeter is a device that enables the checking of arterial blood oxygen saturation as well as heart rate (pulse). Pulse oximetry is painless and non-invasive, suitable for every type of patient, from children to elderly patients. Thanks to its ease of use, the pulse oximeter can be used for private use, at home, as well as in the medical sector (hospitals, medical institutions). What are the normal oxygen saturation values? The normal range of values is between 94% and 99%, and the decreasing range is between 90% and 94%, in which case a visit to the doctor is recommended. Low oxygen saturation (<90%) usually indicates an underlying illness (respiratory disease, asthma, cardiac arrest, etc.) and requires immediate medical attention. People with low oxygen saturation values are more likely to have the following symptoms: shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, weakness, nervousness, and sweating. If oxygen saturation is known to be chronically decreased, monitoring by pulse oximeter under medical supervision is necessary. If you have acute decreased oxygen saturation, with or without accompanying symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately as this can lead to life-threatening situations. COVID-19: Why a pulse oximeter may be useful? Inflammation of the lungs that often occurs as a consequence and complication of the COVID-19 virus is accompanied by a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. The use of a pulse oximeter can be very useful for monitoring this parameter (in patients who show some typical symptoms, are found to be in isolation or are still awaiting the result of testing), because not always those who They're in a state of hypoxemia or a poor supply of oxygen to the lungs for a short time. The pulse oximeter, therefore, gives a complete picture of the situation and measurement values to be communicated to a doctor who will be able to advise you on how to proceed.
