What is PRbpm?

Published in Pulse Oximeter Measurement 1 min read

PRbpm stands for pulse rate/beats per minute, which is a measurement of how fast your heart is beating. It's a value displayed on a pulse oximeter, a device used to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

  • The normal range for PRbpm in healthy adults is between 60-100 beats per minute.
  • This range can vary depending on factors like age, gender, and physical activity.
  • A PRbpm below 60 is considered bradycardia, while a PRbpm above 100 is considered tachycardia.

Remember, a pulse oximeter also measures oxygen saturation level, denoted as SpO2, which indicates the amount of oxygen in your blood.
