The pulse oximeter is a simple, portable monitor for measuring oxygen saturation and pulse rate and is suitable for use indoors and outdoors.
In hospitals, in the rescue service, and during patient transfer, e.g. in aircraft, helicopters or ambulances.
The pulse oximeter ensures safe, non-invasive monitoring of the cardiorespiratory condition of patients in need of care.
The monitoring of COPD patients is another important field of application.
COPD is the abbreviation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Pulse oximetry is used in leisure aviation during flights at high altitudes in order to be able to prevent hypoxia through self-monitoring.
And pulse oximeters are also used in the field of high-altitude mountaineering to recognize early signs of impending altitude sickness.
