Do's & Don'ts: How To Properly Use The Oximeter To Check Oxygen

Looking for advice on how to use a pulse oximeter correctly? Dr.Yuvraj Jadeja explains how you can use this handy instrument to check your oxygen levels at home.

[@kavitanair7061]

This is a timely and a valuable information for all.

[@janvi5185]

Well everyone who's having Symptoms of covid buy one oximeter it'll really help because rather than going to hospital to get it checked and standing in the queue where there is risk ...we can measure it at home

[@a-rex1.5gb10]

I should better be a seller of oximeter than reading boring history 😁

One thing most people miss is that the finger should be warm when measuring. Just hold that finger in your fist to warm it up nicely before measuring. I had panicked last year because I did everything he mentioned, and still my oxygen levels seemed dangerously low. Immediately I ran to a clinic and the doctor was like, warm your finger nicely and check again. Every time I warmed it, it showed normal levels only. Felt like a fool that day for panicking without knowing how to use it.

[@kshitiznavediya9470]

I watched so many video how to use it No one recommend to use like this ??

[@VesseshHebbar]

@@kshitiznavediya9470 yeah, even I hadn't even heard of this before, or since I went to the doctor. In case, you ever get a chance, please do test if this temperature problem actually exists. I'm very surprised that no one's talking about this

[@warriordoctor5935]

Thanks Dr. I’d like to mention two more common mistakes patients make and often get a wrong reading- 1. The measuring finger must not be cold, as it gives a lower reading. 2. Check the battery level. If you’re and your SpO2 is 99, and drops within seconds to 60- such abrupt changes are often due dysfunctional oxymeter owing to low battery.

[@eatshite]

My fingers aren’t cold and I’ve used multiple pulse oxymetwrs and my oxygen keeps dropping from 100 to 70. Please help idk what to do

[@PrasannanGachinmani]

One more important tip keep batteries new always, as old batteries will show wrong readings often

[@gargichakraborty1083]

It took a while for me to show readings, so I got worried..But after u said no nail polish that made sense. Thank you

And avoid cold foods, tell her to remain positive, positivity plays an important role. This really helps, and give her good food, don't let her skip meals. If saturation goes below 90, then consult doctor asap, but i think she'll be alright if she has crossed 15 days of covid.

[BIG MISTAKE IN VIDEO] At 2:10 he says that if after a 6 minute walk the reading decreases, then machin isnt working properly which is NOT TRUE. If your reading decreases, that means you have some sort of a problem (breathlessness) which is a symptom. ( Acc to govt guidelines )

This is a mistaken way of interpretation tho. He may be saying your reading will increase (i.e.hypoxia will decreased)

After a walk normally hypoxia should increase (less spo2 value) hence if it decrease (spo2 increase) then the machine is defective. What's is said in the video is absolutely right. Your interpretation is wrong.
