Pulse oximetry

Abstract: The pulse oximeter, a widely used noninvasive monitor of arterial oxygen saturation, has numerous applications in anesthesiology and critical care. Although pulse oximetry is considered sufficiently accurate for many clinical purposes, there are significant limitations on the accuracy and availability of pulse oximetry data. This article reviews both the clinical uses of the pulse oximeter and the limitations on its performance. The pulse oximeter is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important advan… Show more

“…The apparatus is intended for use in the home environment and as well as an additional support in clinics. The TensorTip MTX device consists of a DSP medical and technology uses a color array sensor which allows to provide richer information compared to other known devices, such as a standard pulse oximetry which usually uses two discreet diode sensors and two monochromatic light sources [19][20][21]. …”

“…Pulse oximetry [1][2][3][4] ͑the noninvasive measuring of arterial oxygen saturation͒ has, since its invention by Aoyagi in 1973, 5 become a crucial clinical tool for monitoring the health of critically ill, anaesthetized, and recovering patients. 1 It is primarily employed as the earliest warning of hypoxic hypoxia and has become a standard of care in operating and recovery rooms in many countries.…”
