Skiing while using a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels at high altitudes

Skiing is one of the most popular and favorite hobbies of sport individuals in our culture. Because these individuals operate at very high altitudes it is very important to them that they constantly monitor their oxygen levels in order to ensure that they are getting enough oxygen. When going to extreme altitudes in order to go skiing the oxygen levels at that height is very low. Those with health conditions that require constant flow of oxygen including asthma and COPD individuals need to be very cognizant of their oxygen levels in order to ensure that they are getting enough oxygen. A pulse oximeter is a perfect oximeter device for these individuals in order to monitor their oxygen levels while skiing at high altitudes.

Those with asthma have to constantly monitor their oxygen levels in order to ensure that they do not get an asthma attack. An asthma attack occurs when not enough oxygen is taken in by the lungs and as such the body can have a very negative reaction to the lack oxygen. A pulse oximeter can help these individuals with asthma when they desire to go skiing at high altitudes. The device is small enough to fit inside their pockets and it will actually make an alarm noise to alert the skier that they actually are not getting enough oxygen and that they make be at risk of getting an asthma attack. The oximeter device is also powered by battery and it is very portable so that the skier can take it wherever they like to go.
