Popis: Pulse oximeter (Nellcor 100) was used to continuously monitor (via skin surface) O2 saturation (TcSO2) in 26 neonates (GA 25-40 wks, BW 700-3500 gm) with cardiac or respiratory distress. First, we studied whether TcSO2 reading would correlate with actual measurement of arterial O2 saturation (SaO2). Simultaneous deteriminations of SaO2 by OSM3 hemoximeter (Radiometer) revealed a linear correlation of TcSO2 and SaO2 with r=0.969 (p 80 torr) of determinations. Understanding its optimal range will enhance effectiveness in clinical practice.
