Abstract:Background: Direct laryngoscopy and successful endotracheal intubation require optimal illumination of laryngeal structures. The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) describes minimum adequate laryngoscope illuminance as 500 lux after 10 minutes, and further describes optimal dimensions of the illumination field. Laryngoscope light is subjectively assessed by the anaesthetist as part of theatre preparation. This study sought to describe the illumination of laryngoscopes at two academic hospitals… Show more
“…The studies analyzing the performance of combinations of smartphones with illuminance measurement applications, described in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], are based on discrepancies associated with systematic errors. Similarly, our results evaluated by (D RD ) represented the dominant aspect defining the suitability of the measuring devices [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Similarly, our results evaluated by (D RD ) represented the dominant aspect defining the suitability of the measuring devices [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Random errors evaluated by the relative repeatability associated with the mean value of the application illuminance readings were more elevated only for the measurement arrangement performed without diffuser dome, specifically with the xenon lamp with a 3 mm opening diameter of the iris.…”

“…Some studies have analyzed the performance of various combinations of smartphones with illuminance measurement applications in the literature, comparing them to measurement results using a digital luxmeter [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. These studies indicated the limitations of the devices and applications evaluated to perform the illuminance measurement [8][9][10][11]. On the other hand, there are diffuser domes available on the market, at low cost, designed to increase the light absorption region of mobile devices' cameras.…”
Studies in the literature suggest that smartphone-based applications are not suitable for measuring illuminance levels. The measurement of this photometric quantity is useful in several sectors, including monitoring the adequacy of lighting conditions in workplaces. This work investigates the contribution of attaching a diffuser dome to the embedded light sensors of smartphones and tablets associated with different applications on their performance for measuring illuminance. Two experimental arrangements were developed using an LED lamp (294.84 lx, 475.58 lx, 880.39 lx) and a xenon arc lamp (607.94 lx, 1013.72 lx, 4012.26 lx, 23933.33 lx). In the comparative analysis, the impact of using diffusion dome attachment was evidenced, indicating its potential to enable some of the device/application combinations to achieve adequate performance for being applied in the daily assessment of illuminance.
