A pulse oxime­ter is a com­pact device that is used in mod­ern med­i­cine. The smart device dis­plays two main indi­ca­tors — the pulse (the rhythm of the arter­ies, which is felt due to the work of the heart) and SpO2 — the amount of oxy­gen in the patien­t’s blood. Oxy­gen, which is trans­port­ed through­out the body thanks to hemo­glo­bin, ensures the nor­mal func­tion­ing of body cells. If it is not enough, a per­son will feel a break­down, dizzi­ness, headaches and weak­ness.

The pulse oxime­ter can be used both in and out­side hos­pi­tals. Any per­son can han­dle the gad­get, as there is noth­ing com­pli­cat­ed in man­ag­ing it. KP stud­ied the med­ical pulse oxime­ter mar­ket in 2022 and talks about the main mod­els and their fea­tures.
