WHAT IS AN OXIMETER?

What is oximetry?

Oximetry is a procedure for measuring the concentration of oxygen in theblood. The test is used in the evaluation of various medical conditions that affect the function of the heart and lungs.

How is oximetry done?

This is done using an oximeter, a photoelectric device specially designed for this purpose. A reusable probe can be placed on the finger or a single use tape probe is placed on the earlobe or finger.

What are pulse oximeters?

The oximeters most commonly used today are called pulse oximeters because they respond only to pulsations, such as those in pulsating capillaries of the area tested.

How common are oximeters?

Oximeters are now a virtual fixture in intensive care units, pulmonary units and elsewhere in hospitals and health care facilities.

How does a pulse oximeter function?

A pulse oximeter works by passing a beam of red and infrared light through a pulsating capillary bed. The ratio of red to infrared blood light transmitted gives a measure of the oxygen saturation of the blood. The oximeter works on the principle that the oxygenated blood is a brighter color of red than the deoxygenated blood, which is more blue-purple. First, the oximeter measures the sum of the intensity of both shades of red, representing the fractions of the blood with and without oxygen. The oximeter detects the pulse, and then subtracts the intensity of color detected when the pulse is absent. The remaining intensity of color represents only the oxygenated red blood. This is displayed on the electronic screen as a percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood.

you treasure your health

You may not have considered the possibility of becoming diabetic. However, the fact is, you could already be at risk.

Did you know that India has globally the highest number of diabetics in a single country? That the incidence of diabetes in the cities is more than twice the percentage in the rural areas?

In 2011, an estimated 61 million Indians were diabetic, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and by 2030, it predicts that over 100 million Indians would be diabetic. Also, Indians develop diabetes at a very young age, at least 10 to 15 years earlier than the western population.

All of which means that if your close family members have it, if you have several lifestyle factors that together place you at a real risk, you should choose a simple yet comprehensive assessment.

At Lifespan Clinic, we will assess your exact nature and extent of risk. That's how you can come to know what you need to do, and what you need to avoid. You can lower your risk, or if there is a possibility, be able to avert it.
