When you live with COPD or another chronic respiratory disorder, managing your symptoms and getting enough oxygen is an everyday struggle. You might worry about getting enough supplemental oxygen, or fear that your blood oxygen levels drop too low at times.
But what if there was an easy way to make sure your body is getting enough oxygen any day, any time, from the comfort of your own home? Luckily, all you need is a small, hand-held device called a pulse oximeter, and you can do just that.
A pulse oximeter is a quick, simple, and completely non-invasive home method for testing your blood's oxygen saturation. It's a great way to monitor your symptoms, catch abnormalities, and prevent hypoxia, which happens when your blood oxygen levels fall too low.
