For the body to work well, it must have enough oxygen transported in the blood. Doctors need to know the amount of oxygen in the body. The CMS pulse Oximeters are the equipment used at the hospital to measure oxygen concentration in the blood. This is compared to the average amount in the body that translates to 95 to 98 percent in a healthy individual free from pulmonary and other diseases. When used, it is attached to any narrow part of the body or your finger.
The oximeter is favored because it is a nonintrusive way of taking body parameters, as opposed to drawing blood and using it to test for levels of oxygen and hemoglobin. Taking blood samples will also not be convenient if the patient has to be monitored on an hourly basis or much more frequently as this will not help if they keep being asked for blood to do the testing.
The oximeter is usually linked to the multi-parameter patient observer. This has a large display and can be easily seen from distance. To check ones blood, one end of the oximeter is hooked to the patients finger and the other end will be the one to send readings to the huge screen where they will be clearly displayed.
It is, however, important to note that although the oximeter measures the amount of oxygen in the blood, it cannot determine whether or not the patient is using up this oxygen. It is, therefore, important for it to be attached to other devices in order to indicate this. Patients who are in surgery are also monitored using this system because they have unstable oxygen supplies to ensure that they are still getting enough.
If you are suffering from other conditions like sleep apnea, hypopnea and COPD, they benefit when doctors use the oximeters to monitor their bodies. These people can suffer from hypo and hyperventilating which cannot be easy to detect in ICU. These technological inventions must be used in emergency medical checkups that could take longer to detect. However, with this machine, you know the results after a few seconds.
The Pilots who fly at great heights that are above 10000 ft which needs them to have supplemental oxygen, will need these facility. It will help them check their oxygen levels. If they are not getting enough air, they will take other emergency measures. This will be a great way of saving their lives and that of their clients who are on the plane.
The device fits a very wide range of sizes of peoples fingers, be it kids or grown-ups. It is important to know that it has been approved by the Health Canada and FDA, to be used in all medical emergencies. The seven section bar graph provides a perfect protection against the ambient light because you will see the readings clearly.
The CMS pulse oximeter has a small and lightweight digital led display that is not too tiring to the patient and it is also very economical on power consumption. It automatically indicates when it is on low power and so one will not need to worry about disconnecting it for a time.
