SPO2 levels in children 5 year boy

2021-04-18 13:58:58
What is the normal SPO2 level in children? And can we use adult pulse oximeter for checking their SPO2 levels? When measured my son's (5 year old) SPO2 levels, it showed 75, then 87, then 96, then 97. Everyone different readings on different fingers.

Hello U have to keep baby hand/foot with oximeter still, and give a least 5 secs to read....then only can get correct reading in children.

Tip- Can check easily while baby sleeps.

Hi.. yes you can use. Sometimes it takes few seconds to give correct reading so 97 is normal. Don't worry
