Pulse Oximeter - How to Take an SP02 and Pulse Reading.
(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 16, 2015 ) Gibraltar, Gib -- Asthma is caused by the inflammation of the bronchial tubes which carry air to and from the lungs. Approximately 1 in 12 adults and 1 in 11 children in the UK suffer from Asthma.
Pulse Oximeters, which were previously only used in medical environments, are now available to buy for home use. They are small units that clip onto the finger and monitor the percentage of haemoglobin in the blood that is oxygen saturated. A doctor or asthma clinic will advise patients of their safe level and the pulse oximeter can then be used to measure levels at any time. If there is any deviation from the expected levels, a visit to a medical centre can be arranged before the onset of an asthma attack thus preventing major illness.
A study by the Department of Physiology at Baqui Medical University in Karachi confirmed that "Pulse oximetry is reliable for assessment of dyspnoea. Oximetry has value in assessment of asthma patients". Dyspnoea means difficulty breathing.
TempIR is one of the companies who supply Pulse Oximeters. Its spokesman Aidan Wade, says: "Oximeters can help detect asthma problems before they occur. Our pulse Oximeter uses Infrared technology. It is very easy to use by placing on the end of the finger, with no discomfort and is very compact so easy to keep with you at all times. It monitors SPO2 levels and also pulse/heart rate, which can be seen in real time as the patient is sitting with the device on their finger."
