sorted byI find some of what the FDA puts out fairly astonishing tbh! I especially like how they set about only endorsing their own accredited oximeters
and overall the statement
'the level of inaccuracy may be small and not clinically meaningful'
should give you an idea (among many other strangely dense statements made in this article) how much you shouldn't just read the headline and take it as concrete discrediting fact
Still - I appreciate the good intention!
Would this be a good tool to monitor myself?
I'm pretty worried at the moment as I had cameras inserted at both ends on Friday and I heard the doctor mentioning I had 3 early varices in my oesophagus.
I'm just wanting to know if this will monitor any improvement.
Your haemoglobin is low, this tool only shows the saturation of each haemoglobin molecule with oxygen and not the overall quantity of haemoglobin (i.e. blood)
To answer your question, the only thing that will monitor improvement is regular blood testing
Hope that helps
Do you monitor your perfusion index?
My mother recently had a suspected diagnosis of a pulmonary embolism, having looked at PI I think everyone should have some awareness on it (edited)
I eventually got one oxymeter reading 91 and was sent straight to hospital for Covid, where I stayed for a week. My level there showed 89 at one point.
I can't recommend oxymeters enough. (edited)
Having this on your finger while doing stuff likely wont be practical
