Sleep apnea is when you periodically stop breathing while you are sleeping and this can happen up to 90 times a night. The main effects of sleep apnea are sleep deprivation and oxygen deprivation. The oxygen deprivation can lead to a host of problems such as heart disease, stroke, type II . . .

Non-medical oximeters are sport-versions of pulse oximeters designed to meet the needs of the high altitude performance sports and aviator markets. They often come in the form of the fingertip pulse oximeter used in high-altitude situations and can be relied upon by pilots or anyone working under such environment . . .

The finger pulse oximeter detects and assesses changes in oxygen saturation in a record time. Pulse oximeter readings must be accompanied by the percentage of oxygen the person is breathing, and their respiratory rate, for the results to be meaningful. Blood carries oxygen in two forms, the majority is bound to hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin) and the rest is dissolved in the aqueous phase of blood (the plasma). The finger pulse oximeter measures the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen . . .
