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.

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:
