Vital Signs ( 1.Body Temperature, 2. Pulse Rate, 3. Respiration Rate (rate of breathing), 4. Blood Pressure (Blood pressure is not considered a vital sign, but is often measured along with the vital signs.) ) My aim is to save lives and have OXYGEN (O2) be a new “STANDARD” 5th Vital Sign.

I have absolutely NO Doubt that she would have lived a longer life if I had known about the importance of O2 monitoring. It has become my life’s goal/purpose to have more people know about the importance of monitoring ones O2 levels. Especially in old age…. but certainly not exclusively.

History: As most of us know, with the advent of the micro chip, mass production & mores law the processing power of computer have been going up, up, up and the cost down down down.

Anyone can now acquire an fingertip Oximeter: Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor for less than $20.00. (I just went on Amazon now 6/13/24 and found one for $6.90 not including taxes.)

Had I of known how important it is/was to check this 5th vital my mom might still be alive today.
