Heart Rate

Heart rate is one of the vital signs of human beings. It is the number of heartbeats per unit of time and is usually expressed as beats per minute. It is the the number of times the heart contracts per minute to pump blood around the body. Often, but not always, it is the same as pulse. At rest, the heart rate is usually between 60 and 80 beats per minute.

What is the best practice when using a pulse oximeter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pulse oximeters measure the oxygen content of the blood, and usually measure percent saturation. Therefore, the range is from 0-100, with 99% being a typical maximum.

A healthy reading on a pulse oximeter is one that is an oxygen saturation above 90% when breathing room air, during most kinds of mild activities, such as walking. If oxygen saturation gets below 80% during simple activity, it may be important to talk to your doctor again about oxygen support.

Why would a pulse rate taken at 6 AM be more accurate than a pulse rate taken at 6 PM?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The pulse rate taken first thing in the morning, while lying in bed or just rising, is only accurate to describe RESTING heart rate. This is because your body is nearly asleep and you haven't had much movement-this will likely be the lowest point in the day. When taken at 6pm, it will depend on what you've done today. Things like stress, exercise, caffeine, etc. can increase and medication, alcohol, etc. can decrease your heart rate. All are technically accurate, but don't reflect RESTING heart rate. In other words, even if your heart rate is 58 at 6am, if it is 200 at 6pm after relaxing, you should ABSOLUTELY seek medical attention.
