Pulse oximeters are valuable tools for monitoring patients with respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or during surgeries and anesthesia. They are also used in emergency and critical care situations to assess a patient's oxygen status quickly. Look for features such as automatic shut-off, compact design, and alarms when choosing pulse oximeters.
