What are the interpretations of different percentages of SpO2 of a pulse oximeter?
The normal range result of a pulse oximeter is 95% to 100%. Anything lower than that means there's not enough oxygen getting to your body.
Saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) tells the observer or clinician how much oxygen is dissolved in the blood of the subject under observation. And SpO2 is of vital interest as it can alert medical professionals to conditions underlying illness or disease in a patient.

What is a pulse oximeter or what does it measure?
An oximeter is a device to measure the oxygen saturation level in blood. I believe that a "pulse" oximeter has a sensor to measure pulse as well, though it wouldn't surprise me if some devices not having such a sensor but otherwise looking and working like a pulse oximeter were casually called that too.
Can you measure a pulse rate with a pulse oximeter?
Most modern oximeters have a built in pulse reader. Your finger is placed in the oximeter, also measuring your pulse along with the % of O2 in your blood.
Does a pulse oximeter help people with history of heart attacks?
