Oximeter Quotes

“Everyone atop Mauna Kea should have a Pulse Oximeter.”
― Steven Magee

“When I worked on the 13,796 feet very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea we were advised to only use the medical oxygen after the daily headaches appeared and that just 15 minutes use was all that was needed to clear up the headaches for a while before we would need it again. We were not advised to use medical oxygen continuously as the Federal Aviation Regulations advises pilots to do. We were not advised to use pulse oximeters to monitor our blood oxygen levels or that the company medical oxygen should have been routinely administered only with our doctors prescription.”

“By May 2020, I was becoming increasingly forgetful. We were finding things in the kitchen that had been put into the wrong places.

The pulse oximeter was showing that I was having a few bouts of low oxygen that would last over an hour each time during sleep.”

“Oxygen administration should be done using a pulse oximeter and never administered above 96% SpO2 and not started for saturation above 90% to 93% SpO2. Medical oxygen administration is patient dependent and is a prescription ‘RX-Only’ treatment in the USA.”
