Schedule an appointment with the HR department to find out what your companyâs policies are. In most cases your company will require you to use a combination of sick leave, personal days, vacation days, short-term disability (STD), and unpaid family leave for your time away from work.
Pulse oximetry is a procedure used to measure the oxygen level (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. It is considered to be a noninvasive, painless, general indicator of oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues (such as the finger, earlobe, or nose).
Pulse Oximeters are devices that are typically slipped onto the finger to read a persons heart rate and measure oxygen blood levels. They may also be slipped onto the toes, nose or earlobes.A pulse oximeter works by shining an infrared light through your body tissue onto a photo sensor. Pulse Oximeter will also display a heart rate reading. Healthy heart rate readings depend on your age. For elderly persons over the age of 70, a heart rate in the region of 90 beats per minute is considered a normal level. A healthy pulse rate for adults aged 18-70 falls anywhere between 60 and 80 beats per minute.
