oxygen saturation monitoring

Oxygen saturation monitoring measures the amount of oxygen in your blood. It's important because your body needs oxygen to function properly. This is typically done using a small device called a pulse oximeter, which clips onto your fingertip or earlobe and uses light to assess the blood's oxygen level. Healthy oxygen saturation levels usually range from 95% to 100%. Lower levels can indicate issues with breathing or lung function. Regular monitoring can help detect problems early, ensuring timely medical intervention if needed.
