Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pair of two commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways become narrowed. This leads to a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs causing shortness of breath.An oximeter monitors the oxygen levels in the blood and is useful for people who suffer with respiratory or cardiac problems, especially COPD.
One of the most common symptoms of COPD is shortness of breath also known as dyspnea. Those with COPD may notice dyspnea even during normal everyday activities. If you suffer from a condition that causes you to have lower oxygen levels in your blood, you will need to keep a regular check on it.
Our personal pulse oximeter (Pulse Ox 5500™ and the Pulse Ox 6000™) is a painless, non-invasive way of getting an accurate reading in seconds. You can monitor your blood oxygen levels and share the results with your physician in order to determine the appropriate medical remedies required.
