Development and evaluation of a photometric fibre-optic sensor for monitoring abdominal organ photoplethysmographs and blood oxygen saturation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two wavelength photometric fibre-optic reflectance sensor was developed for assessing abdominal organ perfusion. In vitro tests showed that reliable photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) values were recorded when the separation between emitting and receiving fibres was at 3mm and the emitting current was between 20mA-40mA. In a clinical study, good quality PPG signals were obtained from the small and large bowel of a patient undergoing laparotomy. Abdominal organ SpO2 were in good agreement with those obtained from a commercial device. These observations suggest that the fibre-optic sensor may be suitable for monitoring abdominal organ perfusion. Keyword: biomedical sensor, photoplethysmography, tissue optics

Optimal spacing between transmitting and receiving optical fibres in reflectance pulse oximetry
Splanchnic ischaemia can ultimately lead to cellular hypoxia and necrosis, and may well contribute to the development of multiple organ failures and increased mortality. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to monitor abdominal organ blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Pulse oximetry has been widely accepted as a reliable method for monitoring oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Animal studies ha...

A new, continuous method of monitoring splanchnic organ oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) would make the early detection of inadequate tissue oxygenation feasible, reducing the risk of hypoperfusion, severe ischaemia, and, ultimately, death. In an attempt to provide such a device, a new fibre optic based reflectance pulse oximeter probe and processing system were developed followed by an in vivo evalu...

Pulse oximetry is as a non-invasive photometric technique that provides non-invasively information about the global arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and heart rate, and has widespread clinical applications. This can be made possible via the peripheral pulse oximetry probes mainly attached to the finger, toe or earlobe. However, there is a need for monitoring perfusion on a more regional...
