Optical surgical navigation system causes pulse oximeter malfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optical surgical navigation system is used as a navigator to facilitate surgical approaches, and pulse oximeters provide valuable information for anesthetic management. However, saw-tooth waves on the monitor of a pulse oximeter and the inability of the pulse oximeter to accurately record the saturation of a percutaneous artery were observed when a surgeon started an optical navigation system. The current case is thought to be the first report of this navigation system interfering with pulse oximetry. The causes of pulse jamming and how to manage an optical navigation system are discussed.

Zero Oxygen Saturation in Pulse Oximeter: Need for Clinical Correlation
Sir, I would like to share an unusual incident, which had happened recently in our operation theater. This event had occurred while conducting spinal anesthesia for a 28-year-male patient with an inguinal hernia for meshplasty. His preoperative anesthetic evaluation and investigations were unremarkable. In the operating room, the blood pressure (BP) cuff and pulse oximeter were applied in the s...

The pulse oximeter is a popular instrument to monitor the arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2). Although a fingertip-type pulse oximeter is the mainstream one on the market at present, it is still inconvenient for long-term monitoring, in particular, with respect to motion. Therefore, the development of a wearable pulse oximeter, such as a finger base-type pulse oximeter, can effectively solve the...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Ohmeda 3700 pulse oximeter.
Arterial oxygen saturation values (Sao2) from 60% to 98% were measured by the Ohmeda 3700 pulse oximeter with the three types of probe available and compared with values of oxygen saturation estimated from direct arterial sampling (arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions and pH) on 65 occasions. The response time of the oximeter was measured after a sudden rise in inspired oxygen concentrat...
