The outbreak of the new crown epidemic not only triggered the thinking of the medical industry, but also aroused the public's attention to a healthy lifestyle. Under the epidemic situation, self-monitoring health status with household medical equipment has become a basic protective step for many residents, and the oximeter has become one of the essential "protective equipment" at home
So here comes the question, what is the role of the oximeter for the new crown?
The new crown will cause lung infection, which will reduce the blood oxygen content. When the blood oxygen content is low, you may feel fatigue and shortness of breath, even without any discomfort, but such a situation is very dangerous! The oximeter is one of the clinical diagnostic methods for new coronary pneumonia. Changes in blood oxygen concentration can be used to determine whether or not to have new coronary pneumonia. For some patients with mild new coronary pneumonia, light and convenient home oximeters are recommended by doctors.
The reason why experts recommend the use of oximeters for self-examination at home is because the newly released eighth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan continues to list blood oxygen saturation and respiratory status as the main basis for clinical classification. The continuous decline in blood oxygen saturation is one of the main symptoms of new pneumonia. When the blood oxygen saturation in the human body is lower than the normal value (93%), and there are symptoms of dyspnea, it is judged as severe, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for further testing.
Since the finger-clip oximeter can measure the oxygen content in the blood in the human body, when the new crown epidemic is raging around the world, medical institutions in countries with severe epidemics are already operating at full capacity, and people with mild infections can monitor their blood oxygen levels to monitor their health. Condition monitoring, when the blood oxygen value is lower than 93%, it means that the lung disease has become more serious, and it is necessary to go to the medical institution for medical intervention in time. Therefore, this small oximeter, like the forehead temperature gun for epidemic screening, played a great role in protecting the health of infected people during the raging epidemic.
For elderly patients or patients with basic diseases such as high blood pressure, obesity or diabetes, as well as pregnant women, children and other members, it is even more essential to be equipped with an oximeter!
