With the rising cases of Covid-19 and deteriorating oxygen levels of several infected patients, the demand for pulse oximeters has witnessed a sharp rise.
Oximeter is a device that monitors a person’s oxygen saturation or oxygen levels in the blood. It can rapidly detect the tiniest of changes in the oxygen flow. It is a small, clip-like device that is put on fingers, toes or earlobes. It comes to frequent use of a pulmonologist.
If you have a pulse oximeter at home, it can monitor the oxygen levels of infected patients at regular intervals. Breathlessness is a common indication of worsening covid symptoms hence it is of utmost importance to keep an eye on the patient’s oxygen saturation.
