A single part of a polysomnogram is sometimes measured at home with portable equipment, for example oximetry, which records blood oxygen levels throughout the night.
32.
High resolution pulse oximetry ( HRPO ) has been developed for in-home sleep apnea screening and testing in patients for whom it is impractical to perform polysomnography.
33.
Capnography and pulse oximetry together could have helped in the prevention of 93 % of avoidable anesthesia mishaps according to an ASA ( American Society of Anesthesiologists ) closed claim study.
34.
Mr . Wilber's novel development of a " normalization circuitry " proved to be a significant, long-lasting innovation that began a modern era in pulse oximetry.
35.
:I'm guessing that might be similar to Pulse Oximetry, which uses wavelengths of light absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin to determine oxygen saturation in the blood.
36.
The concept is similar to today's conventional pulse oximetry, but was difficult to implement because of unstable photocells and light sources; the method is not now used clinically.
37.
With the introduction of pulse oximetry, a non-invasive, continuous measure of patient's oxygenation was possible, revolutionizing the practice of anesthesia and greatly improving patient safety.
38.
Other studies have shown that signal extraction technology pulse oximetry results in fewer arterial blood gas measurements, faster oxygen weaning time, lower sensor utilization, and lower length of stay.
39.
CO-oximetry is useful in defining the causes for hypoxemia, carboxyhemoglobin,-COHb, methemoglobin-metHb, other hemoglobin moieties and'background'light-absorbing species.
40.
Still, of the 20 that were familiar with Masimo's product, 15 said it was " more accurate than other pulse oximetry devices or eliminates false alarms,"
