Pulse 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
Introduction There is no doubt that pulse oximetry represents the greatest advance in patient monitoring in many years. It has the unique advantage of continuously monitoring the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen, easily and noninvasively, providing a measure of cardio-respiratory function. By virtue of its ability to quickly detect hypoxaemia, it has become the standard of care during anaes...
متن کاملThe measurement of dyshemoglobins and total hemoglobin by pulse oximetry.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent advances in pulse oximetry have made it possible to noninvasively measure total hemoglobin, as well as the two most common dyshemoglobins. This review will trace the development and clinical application of multiwavelength pulse oximetry. RECENT FINDINGS Until now, commercially produced pulse oximeters have utilized two wavelengths of light and could measure only the r...
متن کاملCerebral oximetry: a replacement for pulse oximetry?
Cerebral oximetry has been around for some 3 decades but has had a somewhat checkered history regarding application and reliability. More recently several monitors have been approved in the United States and elsewhere and the technique is emerging as a useful tool for assessing not only adequate cerebral oxygenation but also tissue oxygenation and perfusion in other organs.
متن کاملPulse oximetry in pediatric practice.
The introduction of pulse oximetry in clinical practice has allowed for simple, noninvasive, and reasonably accurate estimation of arterial oxygen saturation. Pulse oximetry is routinely used in the emergency department, the pediatric ward, and in pediatric intensive and perioperative care. However, clinically relevant principles and inherent limitations of the method are not always well unders...
