How to read the parameters of the oximeter?

An oximeter is a device used to measure parameters such as human blood oxygen saturation and pulse. The oximeter should be viewed from the aspects of blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, perfusion index, measurement accuracy, data stability, etc.

1. Blood oxygen saturation

The normal range of blood oxygen saturation is generally between 95% and 100%. If the blood oxygen saturation is lower than 95%, it may indicate that the body is hypoxic and needs to be taken seriously.

2. Pulse rate

The pulse rate is usually consistent with the heart rate, and the normal range is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Too fast or too slow pulse rates may indicate heart or other health problems.

3. Perfusion index

The perfusion index reflects the blood perfusion of the detected part. Generally speaking, the higher the perfusion index, the better the blood flow. If the perfusion index is low, further examination may be required to determine whether there is a blood circulation problem.

4. Measurement accuracy

Pay attention to the measurement accuracy of the oximeter. Choose a reliable and certified oximeter to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. At the same time, the correct use method will also affect the accuracy of the measurement.

5. Data stability

Observe whether the data displayed by the oximeter is stable. If the data fluctuates greatly, you may need to re-measure or check whether the device is working properly.

In daily life, if you find abnormal parameters using the oximeter, you can take a break and measure again. If the result is still abnormal, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take targeted measures under the guidance of a doctor. For people with respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc., regular use of the oximeter to monitor parameters such as blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate can help to detect changes in the condition in time. Properly maintain the oximeter to avoid collision, falling and moisture to extend its service life.
