Description

its a non invasive medical device that measures oxygen saturation.

Anesthesia Monitoring: During surgeries, anesthesiologists use pulse oximeters to monitor patients’ oxygen levels and ensure they remain within a safe range.

Chronic Conditions: Patients with chronic respiratory diseases like COPD or asthma rely on pulse oximeters to track their oxygen levels regularly, enabling them to manage their conditions more effectively.

COVID-19 Pandemic: During the COVID-19 pandemic, pulse oximeters became essential tools for detecting silent hypoxia, a condition where patients experience dangerously low oxygen levels without noticeable symptoms.

Newborn Care: Pulse oximeters are used to screen newborns for congenital heart defects by checking their oxygen saturation levels shortly after birth.
