Application of pulse oximetry in neonatology
Journal Title: Problemy Nauk Stosowanych - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
Introduction and aims: Commonly performed test neonatal pulse oximetry is used to assess the percentage of oxyhemoglobin and pulse rate. The paper presents an overview of the basics of pulse oximetry. The main aim is to provide a range of uses pulse oximetry in neonatal, especially infants born prematurely. Material and methods: The material is data from neonatology literature. The method of analysis and compilation has been used in this paper. Results: Some scheme of operation of the monitor and the effect of light on the wave signal saturation has been developed in the paper. The application of pulse oximetry for the analysis of the state of the newborn has been shortly presented in the article. Conclusion: Pulse oximetry is used to recognize and evaluate symptoms of physiological and pathological newborn. It also allows constant observation of important health parameters newborn and assessing the risk of his life. Mostly treatment in intensive care units can last for many months, so monitoring should be sound, safe and non-invasive to the child and simple and convenient to use.
