Your blood oxygen level is a measure of how much oxygen your red blood cells are carrying throughout your body. Your organs need oxygen to stay healthy and function properly. Low oxygen levels can cause a variety of problems. Some of these are mild, such as headaches and shortness of breath. In severe cases, however, low oxygen levels can affect heart and brain function.<\/p>\n

An easy way to measure your oxygen level is with a pulse oximeter, a small device that fits on the tip of your finger. These devices are readily available in physician offices and have become a useful tool for home use since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Important to Monitor Your Blood Oxygen Level<\/h3>\n

A pulse oximeter is essential for patients who have COVID-19 and are well enough to manage their illness at home, according to Phillip Koren, MD, Associate Chief Medical Officer at Cooper University Health Care and lead cardiologist with Cardiac Partners at Cooper and Inspira.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started seeing patients with mild cases of COVID who were still feeling and doing well. However, in some cases, these patients would have low oxygen saturation levels, which means their health was heading in the wrong direction, necessitating immediate medical attention. Monitoring oxygen levels at home during COVID illness and reporting them to the primary care physician allows a patient\u2019s treatment plan to be adjusted to help avoid a sudden decline and the need for hospitalization,\u201d explains Dr. Koren.<\/p>\n

Using a Pulse Oximeter Correctly<\/h3>\n

A pulse oximeter uses light to measure oxygen saturation, which is the amount of oxygen in the blood. Pulse\u00a0oximeters\u00a0are typically clipped onto the pointer finger, although sometimes they are clipped onto a toe or an earlobe. Different sizes are available for children and adults. False nails, painted nails, and cold fingers can lead to an incorrect or false reading. A normal or healthy\u00a0value is 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered\u00a0low. If your reading is 90 percent or lower, you should seek medical evaluation or advice from your physician.<\/p>\n

When managing COVID-19, knowledge is power. During this time, having a pulse oximeter at your fingertips (no pun intended) and keeping track of your oxygen saturation levels, in concert with your physician, can be a lifesaver.<\/p>\n

Purchasing a Pulse Oximeter<\/h3>\n

Online services such as Amazon and Walmart have a range of pulse oximeters ranging from $15 to $50 that have varying display modes. There are pulse oximeters meant for sports activities only, so be sure to select one that is for medical use. Stores such as Walgreens and CVS also carry pulse oximeters, but check online first to see that they are in stock before making a special trip.

\u00bfQu\u00e9 es un ox\u00edmetro de pulso y cu\u00e1ndo lo necesita?<\/h2>\n

Su nivel de ox\u00edgeno en la sangre es una medida de la cantidad de ox\u00edgeno que transportan sus gl\u00f3bulos rojos en todo su cuerpo. Sus \u00f3rganos necesitan ox\u00edgeno para mantenerse saludables y funcionar correctamente. Los niveles bajos de ox\u00edgeno pueden causar una variedad de problemas. Algunos de estos son leves, como dolores de cabeza y dificultad para respirar. Sin embargo, en casos severos, los niveles bajos de ox\u00edgeno pueden afectar la funci\u00f3n card\u00edaca y cerebral.<\/p>\n

Una forma f\u00e1cil de medir su nivel de ox\u00edgeno es con un ox\u00edmetro de pulso, un peque\u00f1o dispositivo que cabe en la punta de su dedo. Estos dispositivos est\u00e1n disponibles en los consultorios m\u00e9dicos y se han convertido en una herramienta \u00fatil para uso dom\u00e9stico desde el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Por qu\u00e9 es importante controlar su nivel de ox\u00edgeno en la sangre<\/h3>\n

Un ox\u00edmetro de pulso es esencial para los pacientes que tienen COVID-19 y est\u00e1n lo suficientemente bien como para controlar su enfermedad en el hogar, seg\u00fan Phillip Koren, MD, Director M\u00e9dico Asociado de Cooper University Health Care y Cardi\u00f3logo Principal de Cardiac Partners en Cooper e Inspira.<\/p>\n

\u201cNosotros comenzamos a ver pacientes con casos leves de COVID que todav\u00eda se sent\u00edan y estaban bien. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, estos pacientes tendr\u00edan bajos niveles de saturaci\u00f3n de ox\u00edgeno, lo que significa que su salud se dirig\u00eda en la direcci\u00f3n equivocada, lo que requiere atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica inmediata. Monitorear los niveles de ox\u00edgeno en el hogar durante la enfermedad COVID e informarlos al m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria permite ajustar el plan de tratamiento de un paciente para ayudar a evitar una disminuci\u00f3n repentina y la necesidad de hospitalizaci\u00f3n\u201d, explica el Dr. Koren.<\/p>\n

Usar un ox\u00edmetro de pulso correctamente<\/h3>\n

Un ox\u00edmetro de pulso usa luz para medir la saturaci\u00f3n de ox\u00edgeno, que es la cantidad de ox\u00edgeno en la sangre. Los ox\u00edmetros de pulso generalmente se enganchan en el dedo \u00edndice, aunque a veces se enganchan en un dedo del pie o en el l\u00f3bulo de la oreja. Diferentes tama\u00f1os est\u00e1n disponibles para ni\u00f1os y adultos. Las u\u00f1as postizas, las u\u00f1as pintadas y los dedos fr\u00edos pueden conducir a una lectura incorrecta o falsa. Un valor normal o saludable es del 95 al 100 por ciento. Los valores inferiores al 90 por ciento se consideran bajos. Si su lectura es 90 por ciento o menor, debe buscar evaluaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica o consejo de su m\u00e9dico.<\/p>\n

Al gestionar con COVID-19, el conocimiento es poder. Durante este tiempo, tener un ox\u00edmetro de pulso al alcance de sus dedos (sin juego de palabras) y realizar un seguimiento de sus niveles de saturaci\u00f3n de ox\u00edgeno, en concierto con su m\u00e9dico, puede ser un salvavidas.<\/p>\n

Comprar un ox\u00edmetro de pulso<\/h3>\n

Los servicios en l\u00ednea como Amazon y Walmart tienen una gama de ox\u00edmetros de pulso que van desde $ 15 a $ 50 que tienen diferentes modos de visualizaci\u00f3n. Hay ox\u00edmetros de pulso destinados \u00fanicamente a actividades deportivas, as\u00ed que aseg\u00farese de seleccionar uno que sea para uso m\u00e9dico. Tiendas como Walgreens y CVS tambi\u00e9n tienen ox\u00edmetros de pulso, pero primero verifique en l\u00ednea para ver si est\u00e1n en stock antes de hacer un viaje especial.<\/p>\n
