BloodVitals SPO2: Comparing Accuracy to Clinic Devices

MarieX3768

Objective: To match pulse oximetry oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by a novel reflectance method from core body to arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in neonates and infants. Transmission pulse oximetry (TPO) was measured for comparison. Study DESIGN: We monitored 18 infants by the 2 pulse oximeters simultaneously. The reflectance pulse oximetry (RPO) (PRO2, ConMed, Utica, NY) was measured on the upper again or chest, whereas the TPO (N395-Nellcor, Pleasanton, CA) was measured from the finger of the infant on the left hand or feet. Data from the 2 strategies had been in comparison with purposeful SaO2 derived from blood sample drawn from arterial line for affected person care and measured by a Co-oximeter (Ilex, Instrument Lab. The potential advantage of the RPO is demonstrated in a case of a premature infant with hypovolemic shock, where SaO2 or TPO could not be obtained but oximetry was available from the RPO. Results: We used for evaluation fifty six RPO and 32 TPO measurements.
