A Conversion Formula for Comparing Pulse Oximeter Desaturation Rates Obtained with Different Averaging Times
OBJECTIVE The number of desaturations determined in recordings of pulse oximeter saturation (SpO2) primarily depends on the time over which values are averaged. As the averaging time in pulse oximeters is not standardized, it varies considerably between centers. To make SpO2 data comparable, it is thus desirable to have a formula that allows conversion between desaturation rates obtained using ...
متن کاملA Three-Wavelength Pulse Oximeter for Carboxyhemoglobin Determination
Pulse oximetry measures the relative concentration of arterial oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. This paper presents the design of a pulse oximeter, which measures the presence of a third substance, carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO), by unfiltered LEDs at 660 nm, 810 nm, and 940 nm. Background information is given on the theory of pulse oximetry. Theoretical approximations and calculations w...
متن کاملA Pulse Oximeter
The objective of this work was to develop a prototype for a pulse oximeter. Given the necessity, in most medical interventions, to monitorize Oxygen saturation in peripheral blood (SpO2) a pulse oximeter is highly necessary in any operating room or intensive care unit. The electronic device was built recurring mostly to Integrated Circuit (IC) and its control was performed via a programmed micr...
متن کاملFrequent Oxygen Desaturation During Sleep on the Day of Bronchoscopy Evaluated by Continuous Pulse Oximeter Monitoring.
To perform a bronchoscopy safely, it is very important to make a risk assessment before and after the procedure. There have been no reports of hypoxemia during sleep on the day after a bronchoscopic examination; therefore, we evaluated the oxygen saturation status during sleep on the days before and after bronchoscopy. Thirty patients that underwent bronchoscopy were studied. Continuous pulse o...
