Pulse oximetry |
It is a noninvasive and painless test that measures your oxygen saturation
levels in your blood. |
|
Normal pulse rate on an oximeter |
Healthy lungs fall between 80 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). |
|
If a pulse ox measured your blood oxygen level (SpO2) |
normal reading is typically between 95 and 100 percent. |
|
Two types of oximeter readings |
Pulse rate(recorded as beats per minute) and oxygen saturation levels
(the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in arterial blood). |
|
Best finger for pulse oximeter |
Right middle finger and Right thumb have statistically higher value. |
|
usual range for resting heart rate |
60 and 90 beats per minute. |
