Sử dụng để theo dõi thường xuyên của bệnh nhân trong ICU và trong khi nội soi, nội soi phế quản, tiểu phẫu, hút, giấc ngủ giai đoạn ngưng thở, giãn phế quản trị liệu sử dụng để điều chỉnh điều trị oxy bổ sung | 20 Current Essentials of Critical Care Pulse Oximetry Essential Concepts Finger ear or other cutaneous probe measures transmission or reflectance of red and infrared light through tissue Pulsatile absorbance beat-to-beat determines percentage of oxyhemoglobin in blood Oxyhemoglobin carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin read as oxyhemoglobin Pulsatile waveform essential for calculation low perfusion hypotension arterial disease motion artifacts interfere with measurement Correlates well with arterial blood O2 saturation Essentials of Management Use for routine monitoring of patients in ICU and during endoscopy bronchoscopy minor surgery suctioning sleep apnea episodes bronchodilator therapy Use to adjust supplemental oxygen therapy including mechanical ventilation Provides estimate of arterial oxygenation still need arterial blood gases for PaCO2 and pH. Do not use to exclude significant carboxyhemoglobinemia eg after smoke inhalation May not be accurate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation Attach to ear lobe or finger according to manufacturer s instructions Check for pulsatile waveform on monitor if provided If waveform is poor or pulse oximeter does not provide an adequate reading try other locations Pearl Very high methemoglobin levels have the peculiar effect of causing the pulse oximeter to read 75 regardless of concentration or oxygenation.
