For people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they must pay special attention in winter. Many people will bring their own blood oximeter at home, which is very appropriate. So, what is the function of the oximeter. In the following article, we will give you a detailed answer.

What is the function of the oximeter?

The oximeter we are often exposed to now mainly monitors pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation. Blood oxygen saturation is a very important basic data, which can more directly reflect the situation of blood oxygen saturation in the human body.

Generally speaking, the blood oxygen saturation cannot be lower than 94%. If people find that their blood oxygen saturation is below 94% through monitoring, this situation can be defined as insufficient oxygen supply.

Of course, if you carefully understand, you will find that there is a particularly important index of the oximeter, that is, the perfusion index. Perfusion index is mainly used to detect the limb perfusion of patients.

The oximeter is not only suitable for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also for people with some chronic diseases. However, it should be noted that people should not use the blood oximeter for more than 12 hours a day.

What is the function of the oximeter? It can be seen from the article that the oximeter is mainly used to monitor people's blood sample saturation and perfusion index. For people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the blood oximeter can be used, but the daily use time should not be too long.
