A Three-Wavelength Pulse Oximeter for Carboxyhemoglobin Determination
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 which are implemented in our instrument are presented. Sensor design and a flowchart, showing the signal processing routine that accomplishes the required analysis is included. The problem of noise occurrence during the signal processing routine is also discussed.

متن کاملMeasurement of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin by pulse oximetry: a human volunteer study.
BACKGROUND A new eight-wavelength pulse oximeter is designed to measure methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin, in addition to the usual measurements of hemoglobin oxygen saturation and pulse rate. This study examines this device's ability to measure dyshemoglobins in human volunteers in whom controlled levels of methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin are induced. METHODS Ten volunteers breathed 50...

متن کاملPulse Oximetry in Acute Respiratory Failure: What Should Be Expected?-Reply.
To the Editor: In the April issue of RESPIRATORY CARE, Amalakanti and Pentakota1 present a comparison of arterial oxygen saturation values between a 2-wavelength pulse oximeter and blood gas multi-wavelength hemoximetry in COPD subjects with acute respiratory failure. The authors conclude that the 2-wavelength pulse oximeter significantly overestimates arterial oxygen saturation and that COPD a...
متن کاملNotes on the apparent discordance of pulse oximetry and multi-wavelength haemoglobin photometry.
Multi-wavelength photometers, blood gas analysers and pulse oximeters are widely used to measure various oxygen-related quantities. The definitions of these quantities are not always correct. This paper gives insight in the various definitions for oxygen quantities. Furthermore, the possible influences of dyshaemoglobins and fetal haemoglobin on the accuracy of pulse oximetry are discussed. As ...
