ABSTRACT:
A noninvasive optical oximeter measures oxygen saturation of arterial blood. A patient's arterial blood is illuminated with light at two different wavelengths and the intensity of the reflected light is sensed by a photodetector and an output signal is created in response thereto. The output signal is processed to form a ratio representing the AC component of the reflected light at each wavelength over the DC component. The oxygen saturation of the blood is calculated by correlating the quotient of these ratios with an oxygen reference curve uniquely representative of the blood oxygen characteristics of a particular patient. The pulse amplitude signals for the AC component at each wavelength are compensated for the effects of upward or downward trends and, therefore, the accuracy of the blood oxygen saturation calculation is significantly increased.
