Pulse Oximeter is an Electric Device Used to Measure Oxygen Saturation in Red Blood Cells
A helpful noninvasive tool for
evaluating a patient who may be suffering from hypoxia is pulse oximetry. Few
medical and nursing articles on literature reviews describe how to apply this
tool correctly. This article goes over the fundamental physics of the pulse
oximeter device and how to use it correctly. The pulse oximeter's limitations and
potential sources of error are also listed. Finally, the proper use and
interpretation of data gathered by pulse oximetry are explained.
Global
Pulse Oximeters Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,426.3 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period
(2022-2030).
To determine one's oxygen
saturation, a pulse oximeter is a
portable clip device. The method of using the instrument to gauge oxygen
saturation is called pulse oximetry. It can help show how efficiently oxygen is
delivered to areas of your body other than your heart, like the periphery. It
is easily usable both during exercise and while at rest thanks to its
portability. Pulse oximeters can be used in critical care settings, such as ERs
and hospitals, to monitor patients before, during, and/or after exercise
therapy for rehabilitation, or they can be used in the home.
In many clinical settings, pulse
oximeter is a useful tool for determining a patient's oxygenation
status and can be used on a regular basis. Oxygenation can be quickly and
painlessly checked using pulse oximetry. Pulse oximetry's accuracy and
dependability have increased thanks to developments in microprocessor
technology, light-emitting diodes, and photoelectric sensors. 1 But it's
critical to understand how to interpret the data obtained from oximetry because
noninvasive technology has inherent limitations.
