- Looking for advice on how to use a pulse oximeter correctly? Dr.Yuvraj Jadeja explains how you can use this handy instrument to check your oxygen levels at home.
His name is Yuvraj Singh Jadeja.. we better listen to him
😀😀😀😀😀
I see what you did there.
Hmmmm well said
😅
@@kaushikisaxena2026 he is just cracking a joke on him having a name with names of various crickters in it😊
One thing most people miss is that the finger should be warm when measuring. Just hold that finger in your fist to warm it up nicely before measuring.
I had panicked last year because I did everything he mentioned, and still my oxygen levels seemed dangerously low. Immediately I ran to a clinic and the doctor was like, warm your finger nicely and check again.
Every time I warmed it, it showed normal levels only. Felt like a fool that day for panicking without knowing how to use it.
I watched so many video how to use it
No one recommend to use like this ??
@@kshitiznavediya9470 yeah, even I hadn't even heard of this before, or since I went to the doctor.
In case, you ever get a chance, please do test if this temperature problem actually exists.
I'm very surprised that no one's talking about this
@@VesseshHebbar thanks I wil take care of it
Oh man.... That's exactly happened with me a few days ago.....
@@aroobazahid2892 good to know that I'm not alone
This is a timely and a valuable information for all.
Well everyone who's having Symptoms of covid buy one oximeter it'll really help because rather than going to hospital to get it checked and standing in the queue where there is risk ...we can measure it at home
I should better be a seller of oximeter than reading boring history 😁
Bruh, gone are the days when they cost 350. Now it's more than 3k.
@@rohitjain6616 true... I bought it when the pandemic just started for 500....now the same oximeter costs over 2500
@@nonamejustpain4492 exactly. My brother in law need one, there is not a single oximeter in their village. Wo log to twitter bhi nahi jaante.
some of these youtube channels are life-saving in these trying times..
from keeping us updated with the latest news to debunking myths and fact-checking false news ; to giving life-saving tips and numerous other information, these channels like- brut, crux are really very helpful.
keep up the good work
Thanks Dr. I’d like to mention two more common mistakes patients make and often get a wrong reading-
1. The measuring finger must not be cold, as it gives a lower reading.
2. Check the battery level. If you’re and your SpO2 is 99, and drops within seconds to 60- such abrupt changes are often due dysfunctional oxymeter owing to low battery.
My fingers aren’t cold and I’ve used multiple pulse oxymetwrs and my oxygen keeps dropping from 100 to 70. Please help idk what to do
@@eatshite consult a doctor
@@eatshite any update?
Reading of 50+ for an elderly at 80 with only 1 lung, is this acceptable?
Thank you for this video. I just bought an Oximeter and have watched several videos to find out how to use and it. Your video was the most complete and informative. My sister is an RRT at a hospital in NY but I live way down in Florida and did not want to bother her with this. Thank you again.
My mother aur my brother ko corona hogya hai par mummy hospital me admit h or oxygen chadh rha...h..to 😔😭 to sabhi se request hai ki meri mummy aur mere bhai ke liya please pray kro 🙏
May God bless your mother and brother with good health and they may get well soon 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don't worry! They will be fine soon🥺🥺🥺
God bless them 🙏
How are they now dear?
Any update brother, hope they're all fine
Really he is a man of patience.... nicely explained each and every points ......
It took a while for me to show readings, so I got worried..But after u said no nail polish that made sense. Thank you
We need more this type of informative videos thanks brut..
Thanks for superb explanation
Thank You Yuvraj Singh ji and Jadeja.
Funny dude lol
*He is having the facial expressions of Jadeja and Quality of Yuvi. Remember they were the turning points of Worldcup, or any final match series so we gotta listen to him* 😄😄
abey jaa naa..
@@tthecooljose4674 his name is yuvraj Singh jadeja, that why he is saying that
One more important tip keep batteries new always, as old batteries will show wrong readings often
Valuable info. Thanks 👍🏿🙏🏿
Thanks Brut, The very much needed info.
Thank you 👍👍👍
We are very thank ful for this valuable information....
Also be careful for fake oximeters . They show low reading . Also take reputated company's like Dr. Trust etc .
Dr. Trust's Oximeter is costing 4k+ 😑
Beautifully explained.
Thank you so much Sir...I just got one for my mother and was wandering how to check the results
superb explanation sir......

Yes
I have sleep apnea and COPD checked my oxygen level in the middle of the night. Having trouble sleeping it was oxygen was 69 then jumped to high 70s and 110 BPM. Sometimes it's high 80s for oxygen.
How you doing these days bro?
Thank you for the video I panic every time I checked my wife during sleep she would be low as 93-94 but during day she would be from 95-97 this video made my day better
Sir mine is less than than 90 too while lying down on the bed !
@@alstondsouza4 yes it reading incorrectly you need to test while relaxed and sitting on a chair or sofa
As a Medical intern, he has hit the jackpot.
Well explained and didn't go into too much details to cause a confusion in the general population
Bull's eye not jackpot. English is a foreign language and ought to be handled carefully and to be avoided, in the first place!
@@neovask lol sure, fyi i am a native speaker and im pretty sure i could frame the sentence in that way.
however dont take my word for it, here is a link from cambridge
dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hit-the-jackpot
@@AhmedTarig Not convinced. 'jackpot' is invariably linked with financial gains, as explained in the dictionary, through your link and other dictionaries.
In the video under reference, there is nothing alluding to financial gains.
If you still insist as to the correctness of that expression in this context, it's okay. Let us politely agree to disagree and let other readers of our inputs form their own opinions.
@@neovask You're SUCH an obvious racist, we get it. On your bike. By the way, how was that one? Great? On your bike is a classic LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks bro.. this was helpful
My brother and my mom have COVID right now.. this is very helpful for me
Hope they get better soon
Always ask them to take havy breath every and be happy because depression and fear is worst enemy in these time
That's 73 runs combined, I am sure the information is useful!
Lol
73 in 2 overs?
Yup, Yuvraj's 36 and Jadeja's 37
Good advice. But you omitted the most important point. *PUT ONLY MIDDLE FINGER IN THE METER* as the first falange of this finger contains maximum number of blood vessels in comparison of the first finger.
Sir Jadeja is saying it we beed to listen,Yuvi fans also should listen carefully
Great
Also an important point...it shows oxygen level really low if the batteries have become loose..don't panic remove and the batteries and put it again and check it again
Nice explanation sir...got full clarity on the usage and also when we should take correct action...
Thank you.
4 min me best chije bta di simply
My oxygen levels go down when I'm laying flat on my lungs. I'm on oxygen. I find with my cpap machine i need to lower my oxygen needs at sleep time because the cpap forces more oxygen into my lungs. This was never explained to me by anyone.
Hope all people will cure of covid...
Respect from Pakistan
Thanks
2X speed.
Also props to the doctor!
❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Yuvraj Singh Jadeja is a dream name
I'm not Indian. Can you explain that?
@@pooja350 yuvraj singh and ravindra jadeja are two brilliant indian cricketers who have greatly excell in their batting and bowling+ fielding respectively.
Actually we use to say Yuvraj Sinh in Gujarat
I did everything he told us not to do, and yes I PANICKED :')
He is 2 in 1 so we should listen to him
Samsung s10 has this feature near the camera👍
Can you make a video for oxygen cylinder regulation at home?
Can we change the finger to middle finger instead of index finger, in case of inaccurate reading?
THE ONLY gadget in the world that gives you the most anxiety LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Some doctors are really Selfless and Sincere out there .... Though we know this information .We Now know it clear and Thorough
Is it right to check the saturation while standing ?
Please tell us how to check the instrument is in proper working condition.
Of course it shows the reading which is same to everyone.
Please bring out vital information in Hindi as well. So that I can send this to my elders. This certainly had very lesser reach because nobody's gonna understand this well.
Yes it’s important to wait for a few seconds or minutes, readjust and check other fingers or other hands fingers to get it correct(middle,index and ring finger only). if the reading persistently starts going below 90 then only you should act.. don’t worry unnecessarily
Also try the 6 min walk test!
Handsome doctor👨⚕!
I would also like to know if these cheap ones are reliable or not? In the current state only those are available and the ones which have quite a good reputation are 5x-10x the MRP.
Anything in the range of 600-3000 is good
My father isn't Corona Positive but his Oxygen level sometimes fluctuates very rapidly between 91 to 95 and doesn't seem to stabilize. What to do?
Same with ny father, although he was covid positive and its day 15th and has no symptoms and problems but still reading fluctuates from 91 to 97, I'm really confused
Thats exactly why, in the video, it was said that u need to wait for 30 seconds
Anemia can also cause low oxygen saturation.
@@shreyanshtiwari2430 is it okay now, same happening with my mother?
@@arpitakulshrestha1551 yes my father is fine now, his saturation stays above 95, ask your mother to perform regular yoga and take steam therapy regularly three times in a day, emphasize on anulom vilom and pranayam and tell her to drink lots of luke warm water and also tell her to sleep on prone positions. And avoid cold foods, tell her to remain positive, positivity plays an important role. This really helps, and give her good food, don't let her skip meals. If saturation goes below 90, then consult doctor asap, but i think she'll be alright if she has crossed 15 days of covid.
Hi, I have tested positive for covid and i am isolated at home. I would like to tell everyone to stay home and stay safe as even by wearing mask at all times, I contracted the virus
My two year old has been in the 80s while sleeping.
Once we get him moving around it is 90's
YuvrajSingh Jadeja..is this a spoof video?
I wonder how reliable the oximeter on my Samsung S10 is. Are the machines better? I've been using the phone to test my oxygen saturation level.
Thanks for sharing the information. I would say a "device" rather than a "machine" . Check the definition of a "machine".
I have three oximeters and different readings on each one of them...what to do?.
👍🏻
I couldnt understand the fifth point. After the walk spo2 reading is supposed to increase or decrease? Which one is normal ?
I guess O2 level should increase after the walk.
Hai
Can i know the reason for not using oximeter while in sleeping conditions of patients.
Is that a machine or a device?
How to position the finger inside the oximeter? Nailside up or down ¿
Nailside up
What is the normal spo2 of 2 years old children ?
I want to know is it normal case
These Pulse Oxy meters prices are inflated i.e sold for more than double the price, Please help if some one has already bought on amazon or flipkart and if you find it is worth it buy online after spending double the price.
When he said of "prone" i remembered my last match of pubg where i got killed as the enemy proned and i got distractdd
Means we have to panic on low reading how ever our health is Ok😅
Isnt he wearing it in the wrong orientation..
My oximeter had a warning to keep tha back of finger parallel to back side of device and front side along with the screen..
Ok
FFS, don't bring politics here
@@trevorphillips3402 ok
So now I know it's my problem being foreign body apirations !
We have the same brand oximeter. Idk what to feel about that
Feel eternally connected to him.
Is the reading different on different fingers?
Which finger shows us the most accurate one?
Left hand middle
Thank you Divesh Choudhury
Left or right hand.
Middle finger
"So who told you this"?
DR. Yuvraj Singh Jadeja
Oh okay
Hmm"
but remember that pulse oximeter goes down only when the oxygen saturation in blood goes down...and your lungs is having shortage of oxygen very before from the time oximeter will show it, so be alert and observe the patient very precisely, proning and steroid on time can help.
will keep it in mind.
