An oximeter is a device to measure the oxygen saturation level in blood. I believe that a "pulse" oximeter has a sensor to measure pulse as well, though it wouldn't surprise me if some devices not having such a sensor but otherwise looking and working like a pulse oximeter were casually called that too.
The pulse is a measure of the heart rate.
That is false. Your pulse is a measure of your heart rate. The faster your heart beats, the higher (faster) your pulse will be.
Most modern oximeters have a built in pulse reader. Your finger is placed in the oximeter, also measuring your pulse along with the % of O2 in your blood.
The rhythm of the pulse is checked by feeling the radial pulse, to see if the beats are coming at regular intervals or irregular intervals, if there is a pause or dropped beats in between the pule and if it is normal rate, slow or fast. More detailed information will be done by ECG / EKG and for irregular pulse you may need study of 24 hour tape of the heart.
