Nowadays, coronavirus infection is considered more dangerous because its symptoms are not visible, however, one of its symptoms is still proving to be very effective in identifying it. And that is the lack of oxygen in the body. Lack of oxygen in the body is not only a sign of many other diseases. When the level of oxygen in the body is low, its most dangerous effect falls on our immunity. In such a situation, any virus and bacteria can dominate our body. If the body is unable to generate energy, then suddenly we start feeling weak. In this article, we will discuss how to identify the symptoms of oxygen deficiency in the body, so that not only corona and other diseases can be identified in time.
What is an oximeter? and How to use Oximeter?
1. Oximeter is a small device machine with a digital display, also known as PPO i.e. Portable Plus Oximeter.
2. It is used as a paper or cloth clip by pressing back and stuck in the patient's finger, after which it has to be turned on before or after.

The level of oxygen in our body tells us how much oxygen is circulating throughout the body through our blood. Red blood cells carry out the function of carrying oxygen throughout the body, they take oxygen from the lungs and carry it to every cell of the body. Because cells need oxygen to produce energy. As long as the oxygen level in the body remains normal, our body remains healthy.
1. The normal level of blood oxygen level is between 75 to 100 millimeters.
2. When the oxygen level falls below 60 millimeters, then it is a sign of danger. Such a person may need oxygen supplements immediately.
3. Lack of oxygen in the body is called hypoxemia.
4. There are two popular methods of measuring oxygen levels in the body. The easiest way is to check the level with a pulse oximeter, but an arterial blood gas or ABG test is done for accurate results. ABG usually tests samples in the lab by taking a sample of blood from near the wrist. Its result is perfect.
5. While the pulse oximeter may be simple, the accuracy of its results cannot be trusted too much. In this, a small device is placed on the fingers of the hand, which measures the amount of oxygen in the body based on the pulse of the person. tells |
6. It is a good and useful device for home use.
