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.

If you need more information about pulse oximeters, remember that Venture Respiratory is here to provide you with expert advice, great service and low prices for all of your sleep therapy and respiratory needs.

How to clean and maintain a CPAP machine?

CPAP machines require only minimal maintenance work which is very important to follow. The CPAP machine itself does not require cleaning, but only a monthly replacement of the filters. The CPAP mask should always be clean, at least once a day which will enhance comfort and performance.

Remember to wash all parts of the mask including the cushions, forehead pads and flaps. You can clean the mask with a soapy cloth or soak the mask in a bowl filled with hot water and gentle soap. Use a Q-tip in hard to reach places and dry the mask before use.

The tube stays pretty clean but it won’t hurt to run soapy water in it a couple of times a month. A humidifier can cause the tube to be contaminated so try and use distilled water and clean the chamber of the humidifier regularly.

How to make Nebulizer Fun for Children

Nebulizers are very effective in kids’ asthma treatment. They turn medicines into a mist that goes straight into the airway. The problem is that Nebulizers aren’t much fun for kids. There’s a mask and a mouthpiece, and your child would pretty much prefer to go outside and play.

But Nebulizers can be fun for children. Nebulizers were once white, threatening hospital like machines, but these days there are over! Today, exciting new Nebulizers are available in cool designs that help eliminate stress and anxiety and employ the child’s imagination during the treatment.

Take a look at this New Fire Truck Nebulizer:

The New Fire & Rescue Compressor Nebulizer System, a durable metal piston driven system comes complete with patient administration set, respiratory mask and can be fun and amusing to use.

This next set is really amazing and innovative:

It's called the AIRIAL Pediatric Building Block Compressor Nebulizer System and it is the most popular and child friendly "Toy Nebulizer Machine." The System is specially designed to help eliminate your child’s anxiety and impatience during his/her breathing treatment while keeping him/her ‘busy’ with Lego style building blocks and comes in three styles:

• Postal Store Building Kit
• Heli Port Kit
• Pirate Island Kit

But even with those wonderful machines, it is recommended to turn this treatment into a special time with your child. Use your imagination and pretend that the mask is a pilot mask, astronaut mask, or firefighter mask when using the Fire Truck Nebulizer.

Tired of sleepiness? You might have Sleep Apnea

Who doesn’t snore really? We all snore, just a little bit. Sometimes it’s even cute… But sometimes snoring can turn into something we should be a bit worried about. It’s called Obstructive Sleep Apnea and it happens because our airway is blocked during sleep. A person who suffers from sleep apnea doesn’t necessarily know that he has a problem. Usually, it is the partner that can notice the issue. Here is a nice couple that documented what sleep apnea looks like:



As you can see, during sleep, the person stops breathing, sometimes for 30 seconds or even more than a minute, until his brain orders him to wake up and change position so breathing can resume its normal state.

One possible treatment for sleep apnea is using a CPAP machine. It’s not as scary as it sounds. CPAP is a machine that releases streams of air into your airway, which makes sleep apnea impossible. Here is an evidence from a patient who is using a CPAP machine on a nightly basis:
