CMS Pulse Oximeters Do More Than You Might Think

By Lucille Lamb


Today a lot of people are familiar with CMS pulse oximeters. For anybody who has been in a hospital, seen a family member or a friend in a hospital, you have definitely seen one on someone's finger. They are the little plastic clasp that grabs on to a persons finger and reads and records their oxygen level of saturation in their blood.

This is an important factor when measuring a persons vital signs. We all need oxygen to survive and measuring how much we have in our system at any one time is necessary for a lot of different people during a lot of different situations. You do not always need to be in the hospital to use one of these. That might be why they have sold so well over the recent years.

They are easy to buy and contrary to what people might think, you do not need to be a doctor or have any special permission to get one. They are sold at local pharmacies, department discount stores and also online. You can get one without spending too much or if you want one that has extra features and obviously does more than read O2 levels you can surely spend a large sum on one.

People who are very active also want to know the same things. This is very true of athletes, both professional and semi-professional. Matter of fact, even people who just play pick up games or who are running every other morning might want to know how they are doing regarding their O2 levels and their circulation.

These have also been made to work for people in other ways too. Athletes will use these meters to keep an eye on their O2 levels while they workout or while they play a sport. It can tell them if they need to slow down or if they may need to supplement their oxygen somehow. This is very important for people who may have lung issues but still want to play their favorite activity or sport.

People who exercise on a regular basis or who are athletes are always curious about how their bodies are processing oxygen. They usually will have one in their bag or somewhere with their gear. Having the knowledge of how their bodies are working and how well can tell them what if any changes should be made to their routines.

It can be hard to remember what your levels are like after your workout or whatever you might be doing. A model that just shows you a real time number is fine if you just need to check it, but if you want data to review how your levels fluctuated then you really need one that can record and save the data for later review.

CMS pulse oximeters are great and are also a very popular model. When you go searching for your various options you will notice that many of the ones being sold and discussed are CMS models. They are reliable, fairly priced, and do their job well. You cannot go wrong. If checking and reviewing your oxygen levels and other vitals is important to you then this is the way to go.
