Agreement of SpO2, SaO2 and ScO2 in anesthetized cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)

Development and clinical evaluation of a new sensor design for buccal pulse oximetry in horses

“…The A rms ‐values for the SpO 2 readings of all three prototypes improved markedly after the rejection of doubtful data‐pairs. These results resemble those of other authors, who also stated that correct SpO 2 readings require correct pulse rate measurements . In particular, the new sensor had a tendency to produce readings which equalled approximately double the results provided by the reference method (PR ≈ 2 × PR ref ).…”

“…Buccal pulse oximetry has been used in humans and primates by transmission pulse oximetry. To the best of our knowledge, our study was the first systematic attempt to make the buccal mucosa accessible as a probe site for reflectance pulse oximetry in horses.…”

Accuracy of a third (Dolphin Voyager) versus first generation pulse oximeter (Nellcor N-180) in predicting arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate in the anesthetized dog

“…Overestimation of SaO 2 by pulse oximeters has been repeatedly reported (Sidi et al. 1987; Young et al. 2002; Matthews et al.…”

“…A plateau period of 3‐minute was chosen based on previous reports (Johnson et al. 2002; Young et al. 2002).…”

“…2 for experimental protocol). Once each target FiO 2 was reached, it was maintained for 3 minutes (Young et al. 2002).…”
