Pulse Oximetry
Pulse oximetry is a test that measures the oxygen level in the blood. It is a simple and painless way to see whether oxygen is getting from the heart to parts of the body at the right rate. It is an effective tool for monitoring respiratory disturbances due to various problems and for oxygen therapy.
A pulse oximeter is a small device that can be attached to the finger or other part of the body. It is used in hospitals and emergency departments and can also be purchased for home use. It is also used in paediatrics, for example when premature babies have breathing and circulation problems. Devices used in children are similar to those used in adults, except that they are designed for smaller fingers.
The pulse oximeter is also an important tool in the context of pandemic COVID-19, as low blood oxygen levels are a serious consequence of infection in many people.
