SPO2

• A pulse oximeter is a medical device that measures the oxygen saturation level in your blood and your heart rate. It's a non-invasive tool that uses light to determine the percentage of oxygen carried by your red blood cells. This information is crucial for monitoring conditions like asthma, pneumonia, and heart failure.
• A pulse oximeter, often used as a finger clip, emits light through the fingertip or earlobe.
• This light passes through the blood and the sensors detect the amount of light absorbed by the blood.
• Oxygenated hemoglobin (blood carrying oxygen) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (blood not carrying oxygen) absorb light at different wavelengths.
• The oximeter analyzes the amount of light absorbed and reflected to calculate the oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and heart rate (pulse).

• Pulse oximeters are used to assess oxygen saturation in various medical settings, including hospitals, emergency departments, and even at home for individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions.
• They help detect low oxygen levels (hypoxemia) which can indicate conditions like asthma, pneumonia, or heart failure.
