The fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기 is a small instrument that is clamped on the finger to monitor the oxygen level in the blood. This kind of equipment, which was originally only available in the hospital, suddenly began to attract everyone's attention because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

손가락 끝 혈액 맥박 산소 측정기는 병원에서 일반적으로 사용되지만 건강한 사람들을 위해 집에서 사용하는 가치는 제한적입니다. 장비 문제 또는 잘못된 사용은 부정확 한 판독 값을 유발할 수 있으므로 의료진의 포괄적 인 진단 지원없이 손가락 끝 혈액 맥박 산소 측정기에만 의존하는 것은 현명하지 않습니다.

1. What is the use of a fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기?

The fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기 is very small. After clamped on the finger, it can measure the pulse and the percentage of oxygen in the blood by shining light on the finger. The normal blood oxygen saturation of a healthy person is about 95 to 100%. There may be lung disease if the oxygen level is below this level. A level below 92% (88% for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD) indicates a serious condition and may require supplemental oxygen or hospital monitoring.

The fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기s have been a common medical device since the 1970s. They are most commonly used for people with respiratory diseases, and sometimes for athletes and pilots who must monitor blood oxygen levels. They are mainly used for clinical testing and monitoring, but they may also be used at home for certain groups of people.

2. Can the fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기 diagnose COVID-19?

The answer is negative. A 손가락 끝 맥박 산소 측정기 may detect a problem with blood oxygen levels, which may be related to the coronavirus, but it is only part of a comprehensive diagnosis. Blood oxygen saturation can help clinical decision-making, but it cannot replace clinical evaluation, nor can it replace the diagnosis process.

Some doctors suggest that for patients with suspected symptoms of COVID-19, whose state of illness is not serious so they don't need to be hospitalized, they can consider using fingertip blood pulse 산소 측정기s for monitoring at home.
