How can I check my oxygen level at home?
A pulse oximeter is a device that is usually placed on a fingertip. It uses light beams to estimate the oxygen saturation of the blood and the pulse rate. Oxygen saturation gives information about the amount of oxygen carried in the blood.
What if your SpO2 is 100?
If all of your haemoglobin have four oxygen molecules bound to them, your blood would be ‘saturated’ with oxygen and you would have an SpO2 of 100%. Most people don’t have oxygen saturations of 100% so a range of 95-99% is considered normal….Pulse Oximetry.
| Casualty | SpO2 |
|---|---|
| Hypoxic | 85% – 93% |
| Severely Hypoxic | < 85% |
What oxygen saturation level is fatal?
Oxygen saturation values of 95% to 100% are generally considered normal. Values under 90% could quickly lead to a serious deterioration in status, and values under 70% are life-threatening.
