Detecting Oxygen Saturation: An oximeter detects the amount of oxygen in the blood and determines if the oxygen level in the blood is within the normal range by using the oxygen saturation level. This is important for determining the presence of hypoxia as well as assessing the condition of respiratory and heart disease.
Monitoring respiratory and cardiac diseases: Oximetry can be used to monitor the condition of respiratory and cardiac diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, emphysema, heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmia.
Assessing blood viscosity, heart rate and blood pressure: Oximeters can also be used to assess indicators such as blood viscosity, heart rate and blood pressure, thus helping to understand the state of the cardiovascular system.
Assessing the efficacy of medications: Certain medications may affect the level of oxygen in the blood, so oximetry can be used to assess the efficacy of these medications.
It should be noted that oximetry is only an auxiliary examination tool and cannot replace professional medical diagnosis. If there is a health problem, it is recommended to seek medical attention and professional treatment in a timely manner.
