A member asked:
I took my daughter's pulse rate by using an oximeter. it said 83/33. is that normal? i took it again and it was 99/123. is that normal?

The first reading does not sound accurate for both oxygen and heart rate, the second is likely correct. Let her pediatrician know so that further decisions can be made.
