Oxyhemetrine is a special device that is used to measure the level of oxygen in the blood. This device can be useful for diagnosing various diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, lung diseases and some forms of cancer.
The operating principle of an oximeter is to use the reaction between blood, oxygen and hemoglobin. During this reaction, oxygen attaches to hemoglobin, causing its color to change from red to blue. After this, the signal is transmitted to a special unit that measures the intensity of blue light emanating from the blood. The results obtained are displayed on the device screen.
Oxygen meters can be portable or stationary. Portable instruments are typically small devices with a light display that can be used in the home. Stationary devices are installed in medical institutions and allow diagnostics to be carried out in laboratory conditions.
The use of oximeters can help medicine make significant advances in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. Lung cancer can be detected using oximetry to diagnose early stages of the disease. However, it must be borne in mind that the results of oxygemography are not definitive and must be confirmed by other diagnostic methods. In addition, oximetry may give erroneous results in some cases, such as breathing problems or low blood oxygen saturation.
Thus, oxygemography is an important diagnostic tool for many diseases.
