Today's teachers are the true bearers of our children's future and they are an integral part of the functioning of our society. Well, today's teachers even go a step further than just teaching. They are so often needed to monitor the health of children who have special health conditions. Many children in classroom settings in today's educational systems suffer from certain medical conditions such as asthma that require monitoring and measuring the oxygen levels at all times. It can be played in a classroom setting especially during breaks. As children go outside to play on the playground and children who have asthma do not really consider that they have asthma and that physical activity can cause them to have an asthma attack. The problem for teachers who supervise the children on the playground is the fact that they also have no way to say exactly when the child was playing on the playground getting enough oxygen. So really the only way that supervisors and techers really know that a child with asthma has been experiencing an asthma attack when the child actually has one. As such, it is always a need for a very easy to use and portable device that can be used by teachers and children to use controls for fast measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood of children with asthma to determine the individual receives sufficient oxygen to prevent an asthma attack. Such a device is now available and is known as a pulse oximeter.
pulse oximeter is a medical device that measures pulse and oxygen saturation in the blood of an individual player is only a fraction of the size of a typical mobile phone and therefore it is extremely portable. It is also very accurate and immediately gives a reading of oxygen saturation and heart rate within seconds. The device was first introduced to the teachers for many years as a trial in which teachers have to have it especially in the case of a student with special health condition requires monitoring of their health status. However, now because of affordability and accuracy of these devices is much more common for teachers to have such devices in order to monitor the health of their students. So, going back to court and a child with asthma situation, if the teacher knows a student who has asthma, and it's break time, then the teacher can easily carry with them a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels during the child's exercise. After the teacher determines that the child is getting enough oxygen, and if not then the teacher may decide that a child take a break or if the condition is very difficult to then send the child's sister and eventually to the hospital, if necessary. Conditioning pulse oximeter is a very useful and very affordable portability offers the best that the teacher should monitor the health of their students.
