ANALYSIS OF HEART RATE AND OXYGEN SATURATION USING PULSE OXIMETER BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE AT HYDERABAD PAKISTAN

Objective: By knowing heart rate, the condition of the heart can better judge. Tachycardia and Bradycardia are one of the factors that may leads to various moralities of the heart. Oxygen saturation may also relate with the heart and electrolyte balance system. The current study was conducted to analyze the heart rate and oxygen saturation in blood by using pulse oximeter. Design and method: The descriptive, observational study was conducted among 400 individuals from various places of Hyderabad, Pakistan. The age range of enrolled individuals are from 20 to 40 years of age including male and female. The duration of study was of six months from July to December 2019. The sampling technique was random. The place of study was from Hyderabad, Pakistan Results: Out of total 400 Individuals, 200 each male and female respectively were enrolled to get the equal response. The pulse oximeter showed the average heart rate was 87 + 15 and saturated oxygen was 99 + 2. While in female individuals, the average heart rate was 110 + 21 and saturated oxygen was 98 + 2. The maximum age was from 20 to 25 years of age in which maximum disturbance of heart rate was noted. Conclusions: The study concluded that the heart rate was more in female particularly girls as compared to boys. Further analysis will be required to sort out the reason.
