Will a pacemaker help raise blood oxygen?

A pacemaker does not directly raise blood oxygen levels. Its primary function is to regulate the heart's rhythm, ensuring it beats effectively and maintains adequate blood circulation. Improved circulation can enhance oxygen delivery to tissues, but the pacemaker itself does not increase the oxygen content in the blood. If low blood oxygen is an issue, it may be due to other underlying conditions that require different treatments.
