Oximetry during transport

Cerebral oximetry during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

optimize brain perfusion in a patient receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). A 52-year-old woman (height of 165 cm and weight of 67 kg) had an OHCA secondary to acute myocardial infarction. Th e ambulance arrived on the scene 10 minutes after the call, and mechanical CPR (Lucas; Physio Control Inc., Brussels, Belgium) was initi...

Accuracy of pulse oximetry during neonatal resuscitation

Pulse oximetry during intraaortic balloon pump application.

BACKGROUND Pulse oximeters are multiple used devices in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine and must provide reliable data during various conditions of signal interference, including light, motion and reduced perfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of different new-generation pulse oximeters during intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy. METHODS In the experi...

Cerebral oximetry monitoring during sinus endoscopy.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Deliberate hypotension, reverse Trendelenburg position, and hyperventilation are techniques utilized during functional endoscopic sinus surgery to attempt to reduce surgical bleeding. These methods may predispose patients to cerebral ischemia. Cerebral oximetry has not been investigated extensively within otolaryngologic surgery. Our study sought to address the question of...

Oxygen transport and the use of pulse oximetry.

Pulse oximetry is a useful way to monitor oxygen saturation in patients in a variety of clinical settings. Nurses need to understand the principles of oxygen transport and delivery to use pulse oximetry effectively in clinical practice.
