lüll New-generation pulse oximetry in the care of critically ill patients Giuliano KK; Higgins TLAm J Crit Care 2005[Jan]; 14 (1): 26-37; quiz 38-9OBJECTIVE: To review the published, peer-reviewed studies to date on use of the new-generation pulse oximeters, which are manufactured with algorithms to filter out patients' body motions, and describe the application of new-generation pulse oximetry in clinical practice in critical care. METHODS: MEDLINE was used to locate appropriate articles on pulse oximetry for the years 1995 to 2003. Each article was examined for scientific merit, content, and applicability to clinical practice. RESULTS: A total of 17 relevant articles on the clinical performance of the new-generation pulse oximeters were reviewed, and the data were organized into a table. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of studies done in both clinical and laboratory settings did not provide any strong and convincing evidence that the performance of any single new-generation device was superior to that of any other new-generation device. However, the clinical performance of all the new-generation pulse oximetry devices was better than that of earlier devices.|Adult[MESH]|Algorithms[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Critical Illness/nursing[MESH]|Equipment Design/methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Oximetry/*instrumentation[MESH] |
