Asthma is the leading cause of chronic illness in children in the UK. It appears that what makes it particularly frustrating for parents of children with asthma, is that many times the child cannot express the fact that he is short of breath or is having trouble breathing.The Pulse Ox 5500™ is an extremely useful device to monitor a child's asthma. Our spot check oximeter measures the blood oxygen saturation SpO2 and pulse rate. It is especially useful for individuals with asthma because it shows the percentage of haemoglobin that is carrying oxygen in the blood and thus allows for determining the severity of the asthma attack as well as the response to treatment.
The Pulse Ox 5500™ allows parents and children the ability to monitor the child's condition wherever they go. Whatever the activity a child with asthma is undertaking, the parents can simply ask the child to use their Pulse Ox 5500™ and within seconds the parents can determine whether their child is getting enough oxygen; do they need to take a rest or if any intervention is required.
