Hypoxemia is recognized as a major complication of sedating pediatric dental patients. Traditional methods of patient monitoring show changes only with moderate to severe hypoxemia. This study compared pulse oximetry, a new monitoring technology, to traditional techniques in their ability to detect hypoxemia in sedated children. The results demonstrated that pulse oximetry is a more sensitive monitor of mild to moderate hypoxemia than measurements of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, or visual observation for cyanosis in sedated pediatric dental patients.
低氧血症被认为是儿科牙科镇静患者的主要并发症。传统的患者监测方法只有在中度至重度低氧血症时才会显示出变化。本研究将一种新的监测技术——脉搏血氧饱和度测定法与传统技术在检测镇静儿童低氧血症的能力方面进行了比较。结果表明,对于儿科牙科镇静患者,在监测轻度至中度低氧血症方面,脉搏血氧饱和度测定法比心率、血压、呼吸频率测量或观察发绀情况更为敏感。
