Oxygen Saturation Measurement

Oxygen saturation measurement refers to the process of determining the percentage of oxygen in your blood. It indicates how well oxygen is being transported from your lungs to the rest of your body. A common device used for this is a pulse oximeter, which clips onto a finger or earlobe, using light to measure oxygen levels non-invasively. Normal levels typically range from 95% to 100%. Low oxygen saturation can signal health issues, prompting further evaluation or treatment. Monitoring this is crucial for individuals with respiratory or cardiac conditions.
