Pulse oximetry: fundamentals and technology update
Oxygen saturation in the arterial blood (SaO2) provides information on the adequacy of respiratory function. SaO2 can be assessed noninvasively by pulse oximetry, which is based on photoplethysmographic pulses in two wavelengths, generally in the red and infrared regions. The calibration of the measured photoplethysmographic signals is performed empirically for each type of commercial pulse-oxi...
متن کاملGlaucoma related retinal oximetry: a technology update
There are two long-standing theories about the pathogenesis of glaucoma - barotrauma and the effect of vascular hypoxia. Currently, it is still unknown whether diminished blood flow is the cause or result of glaucomatous atrophy of ganglion cells and the optic nerve. Though many other imaging techniques used to directly assess ocular blood flow have been well studied, they are limited by their ...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry
The principal advantage of optical sensors for medical applications is their intrinsic safety since there is no electrical contact between the patient and the equipment. (An added bonus is that they are also less suspect to electromagnetic interference). This has given rise to a variety of optical techniques to monitor physiological parameters: for example, the technique of Laser Doppler veloci...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry and Plethysmography
Stokes (1) reported that the colored substance in blood carries oxygen. This was followed by Hoppe-Seyler (2), who first crystallized this substance and coined the term hemoglobin. Additionally, it was shown that the pattern of light absorption changes when shaken with air (2). Hertzman (3) described using photoelectric plethysmography of fingers and toes as a dynamic analysis of the peripheral...
متن کاملMethemoglobinemia and Pulse Oximetry
In reviewing the article “Methemoglobinemia: Sudden Dyspnea and Oxygen Desaturation After Esophagoduodenoscopy,” in the August 2004 issue of RESPIRATORY CARE,1 I found the article suggested that, during the esophagoduodenoscopy procedure the patient’s blood oxygen saturation (measured via pulse oximetry) began to drop rapidly, and a saturation of 54% registered on the pulse oximeter while the p...
