The Covid-19 patients often need oxygenation support, so this tool has become a necessity for the asymptomatic and mild symptom patients who are under home quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gPWu2AkWy9A\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>To see how a Pulse Oximeter works click here!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is a Pulse Oximeter?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WHAT IS PULSE OXIMETER\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bn1ohWXvJAI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An oximeter is a lightweight, small tool that is used to monitor the blood oxygen level in the body. This non-invasive device is attached painlessly at your fingertip and sends two wavelengths of light through your attached finger for measuring your pulse rate and oxygen level in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oximeter screen displays the estimated reading for oxygen level in your body and current pulse rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It plays a vital role in monitoring the oxygen levels of the patient. So, doctors can be quickly informed about the deteriorating condition of the patients. Even if you are in home quarantine, or feeling a little uneasy, you can check your oxygen level without going to a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parameters measured with Pulse oximeters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SPO2 :<strong> SpO2<\/strong>, also known as oxygen saturation, is a measure of the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulse rate : Heart rate is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How accurate are Pulse Oximeters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading indicates up to what percentage your blood is saturated, which is recorded as SpO2 level. Oximeters have a 2 percent error window. This means, most oximeters shows a reading of 2 percent over or 2% under actual saturation reading. In simple words, if your oximeter reads the value of 96%, then your correct reading will lie in between 94% to 98%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulse oximeters have become one of the must-have equipment in every household, and rightly so. They give valuable insights into how your body is functioning and helps you get to emergency care quickly. If you\u2019re scared of all the news and opinions about Heart diseases and Pandemic, Buy an oximeter and check for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One stop for all the medical equipment requirements <a href=\"https:\/\/vmedo.com\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">https:\/\/vmedo.com<\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vmedo.com\/what-are-pulse-oximeters\/\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Do check one more detailed blog on Pulse Oximeter here!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0caa\u0cb2\u0ccd\u0cb8\u0ccd \u0c86\u0c95\u0ccd\u0cb8\u0cbf\u0cae\u0cc0\u0c9f\u0cb0\u0ccd \u0ca8 \u0c89\u0caa\u0cbf\u0caf\u0ccb\u0c97\u0cbf\u0cb8\u0cc1\u0cb5\u0cc1\u0ca6\u0cc1 \u0cb9\u0cc7\u0c97\u0cc6? | How to use Pulse Oximeter\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPWu2AkWy9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulse Oximeters are playing a crucial role in minimizing the death rate of Covid-19 patients under home isolation.
