Oxímetro; cómo usarlo y leer los niveles de oxigenación

COVID-19

¿Por qué es importante tener un oxímetro?

Un oxímetro ayuda a medir los niveles de oxígeno que hay en la sangre.

El oxímetro y el COVID-19

Un oxímetro no puede detectar el COVID-19, pero sí puede ayudarte a monitorear los síntomas asociados con el virus.

Niveles de oxígeno en sangre

Tener niveles bajos de oxígeno en sangre podría ser un signo de COVID-19, pero también podría indicar otros problemas de salud.

Para utilizar adecuadamente un oxímetro…

Lava tus manos y evita cualquier tipo de esmalte de uñas

Es importante que tu mano no esté fría, puedes frotarla para aumentar la temperatura

se recomienda estar sentado y colocar tu mano sobre una superficie plana

3

Coloca el oxímetro en el dedo índice, también puede ser el anular o el medio

Procura dejar el oxímetro por un minuto para obtener una medición estable

¿Cómo leer un oxímetro?

Los oxímetros miden los niveles de oxígeno en la sangre y la frecuencia cardiaca

Oxigenación

Frecuencia cardíaca

Niveles “normales”

Oxigenación

92% o más

No mayor de 100

Frecuencia cardíaca

*Si baja del 90% la oxigenación hay que entrar en contacto con los servicios médicos de inmediato
