So, you have brought your parent home. You have applied ESP. You have provided Emotional support, Safety, and Physical support.

Now, you have the day-to-day tasks to organize, maintain, and monitor. Medications, mood, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen% (O2) monitoring, nutritional records, daily temperature, activities, changing/toileting schedule, and more tasks have to be worked into an already busy schedule.

The easily used Fingertip Pulse Oximeter lets you know if your loved one has a higher or lower than normal pulse rate and what their oxygen levels are. These are especially important to monitor on a daily basis to know if there are any medical changes in one’s condition. After an illness, it is important to know if the O2 levels are normal. Generally 95% -100% is normal. Below 90% is real trouble.  Asthma, COPD, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, and other diseases can require monitoring daily for physician reports. The pulse rate can go higher with dehydration, urinary tract infection (UTI),pain, anxiety, congestive heart failure, and more. If the person is unable to accurately report what they are feeling in their body, it is important to use measures like pulse, O2, blood pressure and observation to help them speak to you about their body.

This is a commonly used device in our household for my totally dependent mother’s care and in our clinic. To use, you simply place this on your finger (we use the right index finger for consistency), press the button, wait about 10-11 seconds and the reading appears. Large print and red light make this device easy to read, even in dim light.

For the average person, the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Monitor can be used before, during, and after exercises to gauge fitness level. The goal of exercise to bring your pulse to a certain level (that level is dependent on age, health, and medications).
