This is a high-end electronic device that is operated by clipping on the finger of the person who needs to measure the index. It measures the heart rate and oxygen saturation of red blood cells. A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a certain part of the body, which uses light to measure the oxygen level in the blood. This information can help healthcare providers decide whether a patient needs additional oxygen.

Pulse oximeters are often used by hospital professionals, and you can use them at home to help doctors monitor your health remotely and give you relevant advice. The most important thing is that blood oxygen saturation is an important indicator for the treatment of COVID-19.

Why might you need a pulse oximeter?

A pulse oximeter is required in many situations, and its benefits are most pronounced in patients with symptoms of COVID-19 such as cough, fever, and shortness of breath. If you have similar symptoms, this is a reasonable time to check your blood oxygen saturation. Oxygen levels were also one of the determinants of getting them into hospitals because at the height of the outbreak, hospitals were running out of beds and emergency rooms were overcrowded. People are diagnosed with COVID and sent home. The purpose of a pulse oximeter is nothing but an early warning of a drop in oxygen saturation.
