Pulse oximetry is a ubiquitous monitor in anesthesia and critical care and is often considered the fifth vital sign. Under conditions of normal perfusion and temperature, the finger probe is the most common and effective sensor. In the presence of hypotension, hypoperfusion,and hypothermia, however, the finger sensor is often unable to detect a pulsatile signal. Another site and sensor are necessary to monitor these patients effectively. This article describes the search for this site, the choice of the forehead, and preliminary data regarding the use of this sensor site.
脉搏血氧饱和度测定法是麻醉和重症监护中一种普遍使用的监测手段,常被视为第五生命体征。在正常灌注和体温条件下,手指探头是最常用且有效的传感器。然而,在存在低血压、低灌注和体温过低的情况下,手指传感器往往无法检测到搏动信号。为有效监测这些患者,需要另选一个部位和传感器。本文描述了对该部位的探寻过程、额头部位的选择以及关于使用该传感器部位的初步数据。
