A whole blood oximeter.

چکیده
During cardiac catheterization it is an advantage to have an immediate indication of the oxygen content of blood samples withdrawn from the heart and great vessels while the catheter is still in situ. This is especially important in the more complex congenital defects as the procedure can then be modified if necessary in the light of the blood oxygen estimations. The present paper describes a whole blood cuvette oximeter that fulfils these requirements and employs a standard portable colorimeter. x

Pulse oximeter plethysmographic waveform changes in awake, spontaneously breathing, hypovolemic volunteers.
BACKGROUND The primary objective of this study was to determine whether alterations in the pulse oximeter waveform characteristics would track progressive reductions in central blood volume. We also assessed whether changes in the pulse oximeter waveform provide an indication of blood loss in the hemorrhaging patient before changes in standard vital signs. METHODS Pulse oximeter data from fin...
متن کاملUsefulness of Pulse Oximeter That Can Measure SpO2 to One Digit After Decimal Point.
Pulse oximeters are used to noninvasively measure oxygen saturation in arterial blood (SaO2). Although arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximeter (SpO2) is usually indicated in 1% increments, the value of SaO2 from arterial blood gas analysis is not an integer. We have developed a new pulse oximeter that can measure SpO2 to one digit after the decimal point. The values of SpO2 from t...
متن کاملPortable optical tissue flow oximeter based on diffuse correlation spectroscopy.
A portable diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) flowmeter has been extended to measure both tissue blood flow and oxygenation (namely, DCS flow oximeter). For validation purposes, calf muscle blood oxygenation during cuff inflation and deflation was measured concurrently using the DCS flow oximeter and a commercial tissue oximeter. The oxygenation traces from the two measurements exhibited si...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Pulse Oximeter
A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly monitors or measure the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmogram. The pulse oximeter may be included into a multi parameter patient monitor. This also displays the pulse rate. There are many portabl...
متن کاملInvestigation of oesophageal photoplethysmographic signals and blood oxygen saturation measurements in cardiothoracic surgery patients.
Pulse oximeter probes attached to the finger may fail to estimate blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in patients with compromised peripheral perfusion (e.g. hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass surgery). The measurement of SpO2 from a central organ such as the oesophagus is suggested as an alternative to overcome this problem. A reflectance oesophageal pulse oximeter probe and a processing system imp...
