How to Use a Pulse Oximeter?

How to use a Pulse Oximeter by Stefani from the Oxygen Concentrator Store.

✅ What is a Pulse Oximeter?
The pulse oximeter can measure two things: your pulse rate and the level of oxygen in your blood. Both of these numbers are necessary to assess your current levels and health.

🩸 What is the Normal Blood Oxygen Level?
People who are breathing normal, who have relatively healthy lungs (or asthma that is under control), will have a blood oxygen level of 95% to 100%. Anything between 92% and 88%, is still considered safe and average for someone with moderate to severe COPD. Below 88% becomes dangerous, and when it dips to 84% or below, it’s time to go to the hospital. Around 80% and lower is dangerous for your vital organs, so you should be treated right away.

🦠 Is Pulse Oximeter useful during the Coronavirus pandemic?
One of the effects of COVID-19 is lower blood oxygen saturation. Keeping an oximeter handy can be really helpful as it tells you what your oxygen saturation level is.

🔬 Can finger pulse oximeter detect COVID-19?
Just like a thermometer tells you what your body temperature is and not what disease you have, a pulse oximeter tells you what your SpO2% (oxygen saturation%) is and not whether you have Coronavirus. Low blood oxygen saturation can also occur due to COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

😷 Stay Safe!

Fantastic video, Clear easy to understand straight to the point and not too long. and most importantly minimal background music.

[jamesquirozolara]

Thank you very much, Is it necessary to keep record of the readings?

[suemarin]

When you first put it on how long do you keep it on?

[brewhaha]

Excellent explanation ( very informative as well)

Since heart rate is influenced by many factors (coffee, anxiety, emotion etc.), I'm wondering if a person's resting heart rate (RHR) fluctuates throughout the day (same day)? If so, what range of variation is considered normal?

[bnk]

sorry but how do we exactly use it? I have one but it makes different readings on different fingers
how do I line it up? again I got different reading doing this, as seen in your video the nail should be lined up with the lower light
I tested it and realized if I take deep breaths my oxygen saturation goes higher

Could you please answer me? I have covid symptoms and I'm really anxious with this thing

May know the proper body position to measure. For myself while sitting it's 97. Lying it between 92 to 95 sometimes 90. May I know which one I need to consider.

[prabhleenkaursuri]

Why we get different readings while lying down and when sitting?

[iboss]

Hi! Is it obligatory on every cost to visit hospital if it varies from 86-94/95 changes on periods between these

[NachiV]

My reading keeps changing each time i take it.. Some times the prbpm jumps to 236 or 150...
And stays there and the saturation shows 99, then jumps to 88 and then jumps to 69.
I don't know if it is a glitch.
The model I use is YXY018A

[zieyansani]

It is normal if our oxygen is keep changing. Example within 30 second sometime is 93, 95 then 96 and suddenly become 94 again? After take a breath and relaks is become 95.. Is that normal doctor?

[joseljimenez]

Excellent explanation (very pretty as well)

[tabascocat]

I'm average 95% walking/sitting around and ~94% in bed. Not happy

Hi,
My father is 58 years old with no health conditions(except gastric issues). He has no Covid symptoms and is healthy. Just because we bought an oximeter, we have been checking his oxygen saturation levels using pulse oximeter everyday for 45 days. The range varies from between 92 and 96. Is this normal?
He has no breathing issues and is exercising well too.

[sxybbwms]

Thank you for this information. It was really helpful.

[yukthajain]

My dad is 51 years old.
When we measure his oxygen level it starts frm 80 and then reached 97 is it normal?

[reiayanami]

Bro how is ur pulse so low???
Im beating at 87-93 all day (I think it’s due to my anxiety)
