Pulse Oximetry is a non-invasive method of measuring a person's oxygen saturation level. A pulse oximeter is a monitoring device used to monitor oxygen levels in blood. This portable device is extremely easy to use. The device helps patients monitor their capability to bear strenuous exercise by tracking their heart rate and blood oxygen saturation level.
This oxygen saturation machine works on the principle that different frequencies of light are absorbed in different volumes. Oxygenated haemoglobin and deoxygenated haemoglobin in a patient’s blood absorb different amounts of red infrared lights. By calculating the difference between these, a blood oxygen monitor can estimate the level of oxygenation in the blood. The amount of oxygen in a healthy body should never fall below 94% in a Sp02 reading. A probe fixed on an area of the body with good blood flow like the fingertip or ear lobe helps the device track the SpO2 level. The cost of the device is extremely affordable and is accessible to most patients.
Types of Pulse Oximeters
-
Fingertip
It is in the shape of an alligator clip and has to be put on the finger or earlobe.
2.Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The non-invasive blood pressure pulse oximeter features the oscillometric blood pressure method that provides fast and motion tolerant readings. They are compact and ideal for hospitals & homes use and medical treatments.
3. Handheld
The handheld monitoring device is what medical institutes and hospitals use. The machinery is slightly more sophisticated. The screen is not attached to the clip. Instead, there is a cable attaching the clip to the screen. The clip of this device in emergency cases can even be attached to the toe to get a reading.
Depending on the place of usage and the information required to be tracked, Doctors and Patients can choose the right pulse oximeter that is most suitable for them from Smart Medical Buyer.
