Monitor your Sleep Apnea with a Pulse Oximeter

A pulse oximeter is a special device that automatically checks the patient’s heart rate. A pulse oximeter also measures the oxygen saturation in the blood, and when attached to a special screen it allows the hospital staff to constantly monitor the patient’s condition. Pulse oximeters are non invasive, and usually measure pulse rates through the finger or earlobe.

Pulse oximeter can also determine if a patient is suffering from sleep apnea. The small device transmits a two-wave beam through the patient’s finger, which is absorbed by blood molecules that carry oxygen. The oximeter then measures the ratio of the light beams and provides the body’s oxygen level rates.

When you need to monitor your sleep apnea and find out whether your blood oxygen level is low, you can use Respironics 920M pulse oximeter.

This unique pulse oximeter provides on-the-spot oximetry readings, and designed to be easy to use for both healthcare professionals and patients. The oximeter features a bigger display, better performance and a 72-hour memory that stores your oxygen information. The soft, rubberized cover slides away for easy access to batteries, and may be used with a wide variety of finger and ear sensors for adult, infant and neonatal patients.

Nebulizers or Inhalers. Which one is better for my child?

Many parents face the question whether to choose nebulizer or inhaler treatment for children suffering from asthma. Many parents do not know that actually, there are no right or wrong answers. It doesn’t really matter if your child uses nebulizers or inhalers, as long as he is doing it properly.

Inhaler Benefits?

1. Ease of use. Inhalers are small, portable and hand-held. Inhalers will work anywhere and operation takes a few seconds. A nebulizer is more bulky, and the use requires children to stay put for 10 minutes while wearing a face mask.
2. Accurate dosage, especially while a nebulizer requires the parents to apply the liquid medication.

Why should my child use a Nebulizer?

1. Easier to use with infants and little children.
2. Inhalers require operation coordination while nebulizers require only breathing.
3. Nebulizers can better assist children with severe asthma cases, especially when the airway is blocked and the inhaler spray can not pass to the lungs.
4. Nebulizer can enable the mix of two or more asthma medicines when necessary.
5. These days, nebulizers can actually be fun for children. There are exciting new nebulizers available in cool designs like a fire truck or a panda bear that can help eliminate stress and anxiety and employ the child’s imagination during the treatment.

If you need a new nebulizer, Venture Respiratory Inc. is here to provide you with expert advice, great service and low prices for all of your sleep therapy and respiratory needs. Head on to www.ventureresp.com and take a deep, sweet breath.
