Heart Rate and Oxygen Level Chart

Heart rate and oxygen level are a pair of biometric data that are monitored to provide information about the health of the body. The purpose is to examine how the patient’s heart rate and oxygen saturation change and then processed and displayed them in charts.

The heart rate of a healthy adult at rest is around 75 (±15) (or more for women) beats per minute (bpm). Athletes typically have lower heart rates than less active people.

Babies have a much higher heart rate, around 120 bpm, while older children have a heart rate of around 90 bpm.

Heart rate varies significantly between individuals based on fitness, age, and genetics.

On the other hand, the percentage of arterial blood saturated with oxygen helps determine the effectiveness of a patient’s respiratory system.

The oxygen level may be lower in some people with lung conditions, even when they feel fine. If you have an existing lung condition, check with your doctor about what your readings should be.

Measurement of heart rate and oxygen level with pulse oximetry are very important factors in accessing the condition of the human cardiovascular system.

For most people, a normal pulse oximeter reading for their oxygen saturation level is between 95% and 100%. If you have a lung disease like COPD or pneumonia, your normal oxygen saturation level may be lower.

Your health care provider will let you know what levels are acceptable. Your oxygen saturation levels may also be lower if you live in an area with high elevation.

The technique by which the oxygen saturation in the blood is determined is called pulse oximetry.
