| Popis: |
A new system for measuring the oxygen saturation of blood within tissue has been developed, for a number of potential patient monitoring applications. This proof of concept project aims to address the unmet need of real-time measurement of oxygen saturation in the central nervous system (CNS) for patients recovering from neurosurgery or trauma, by developing a fiber optic signal acquisition system for internal placement through small apertures. The development and testing of a two-wavelength optical fiber reflectance photoplethysmography (PPG) system is described. It was found that good quality red and near-infrared PPG signals could be consistently obtained from the human fingertip (n=6) and rat spinal cord (n=6) using the fiber optic probe. These findings justify further development and clinical evaluation of this fiber optic system. |
