How to Use a Pulse Oximeter?

[@BehaveDave1]

Fantastic video, Clear easy to understand straight to the point and not too long. and most importantly minimal background music.

[@brewhaha1380]

Excellent explanation ( very informative as well)

Glad it was helpful!

Hello Ms. Dra! how big would be the difference between this pulxiometer and the one on the ambulance I mean saturation and bpm values? I kiss my hand

[@lacbayenglenly8201]

Very informative...❤ty

[@jamesquirozolara9419]

Thank you very much, Is it necessary to keep record of the readings?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Only if your doctor advices or if the SpO2% is getting less than 92%.

Excellent explanation (very pretty as well)

Thank you for this information. It was really helpful.

[@suemarin3482]

When you first put it on how long do you keep it on?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

15 seconds should be fine.

Since heart rate is influenced by many factors (coffee, anxiety, emotion etc.), I'm wondering if a person's resting heart rate (RHR) fluctuates throughout the day (same day)? If so, what range of variation is considered normal?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Please check that with your doctor.

[@Crazytesseract]

@@Oxygenconcentratorstore Then why are making a video? What are you there for?

[@tongbz31]

👍Thanks!🙏

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Our pleasure!

[@b19nk]

sorry but how do we exactly use it? I have one but it makes different readings on different fingers how do I line it up? again I got different reading doing this, as seen in your video the nail should be lined up with the lower light I tested it and realized if I take deep breaths my oxygen saturation goes higher Could you please answer me? I have covid symptoms and I'm really anxious with this thing

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please reach out to your healthcare provider for proper tests. Pulse oximeter won't tell if you have COVID-19 or not.

[@NeutralDice]

Does its sensor need cleaning?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

You can wipe it off with a dry cotton cloth.

[@rod545]

Should I check while sitting down?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Yes, sitting is the best posture to measure saturation.

[@rod545]

@@Oxygenconcentratorstore Would sitting also be the best posture to measure resting heart rate?

[@lev801]

May know the proper body position to measure. For myself while sitting it's 97. Lying it between 92 to 95 sometimes 90. May I know which one I need to consider.

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

It should not change that much. Ensure that you keep your finger still for 15-20 seconds - as movement will not give proper reading.

[@prabhleenkaursuri]

Why we get different readings while lying down and when sitting?

[@sanjeewadarshana461]

Same problem

[@iboss03]

Hi! Is it obligatory on every cost to visit hospital if it varies from 86-94/95 changes on periods between these

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Please see your doctor if your SpO2% is less than 92%.

[@dc.pentrumesteri4893]

You're less than 95, not 92 with a bad head

[@NachiV]

My reading keeps changing each time i take it.. Some times the prbpm jumps to 236 or 150... And stays there and the saturation shows 99, then jumps to 88 and then jumps to 69. I don't know if it is a glitch. The model I use is YXY018A

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Keep your hand steady for 30 seconds while taking a reading. If you can arrange another pulse oximeter, try two simultaneously.

[@zieyansani9085]

It is normal if our oxygen is keep changing. Example within 30 second sometime is 93, 95 then 96 and suddenly become 94 again? After take a breath and relaks is become 95.. Is that normal doctor?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Keep the pulse oximeter on for 30 seconds for the reading to stabilize. The SpO2% may go up and down depending on what activity you are performing. Try pursed lip breathing for it to improve. If your saturation is less than 95% in multiple readings, then please contact your physician.

[@tabascocat5102]

@@Oxygenconcentratorstore But above you say ''92% to 97% of blood oxygen saturation is considered normal.' ???

[@tabascocat5102]

I'm average 95% walking/sitting around and ~94% in bed. Not happy

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Please contact your healthcare proivder.

[@tabascocat5102]

@@Oxygenconcentratorstore Now I'm worried

[@unknownperson-gr3pf]

Above 94 is good or bad?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

It should be fine over 94%. If the oxygen saturation remains lower than 94% repeatedly, please seek medical advice.

[@unknownperson-gr3pf]

@@Oxygenconcentratorstore sir one day i saw 93 to 94 fluctuation but after 10 min it goes to 98 or sometimes 99 till now my spo2 is 99.... Plz tell me what i do....as i m allergic patient from dust

Hi, My father is 58 years old with no health conditions(except gastric issues). He has no Covid symptoms and is healthy. Just because we bought an oximeter, we have been checking his oxygen saturation levels using pulse oximeter everyday for 45 days. The range varies from between 92 and 96. Is this normal? He has no breathing issues and is exercising well too.

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

92% to 97% of blood oxygen saturation is considered normal.

[@psarkar6857]

Same with my father 96 most of the time then sometimes 94,95 ... my father has diabetes also .. how is your father now?

[@yukthajain8377]

My dad is 51 years old. When we measure his oxygen level it starts frm 80 and then reached 97 is it normal?

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

Like thermometers, some pulse oximeters take time to give correct reading. Wait for a minute until the SpO2% number stabilizes.

[@reiayanami161]

Bro how is ur pulse so low??? Im beating at 87-93 all day (I think it’s due to my anxiety)

[@Oxygenconcentratorstore]

87-93 BPM is normal range.

[@tabascocat5102]

Varies between 50-100

[@anamikasingh6627]

Your volume is low
