Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. The Satlite and Satlite Trans (Datex, Finland), Biox-3700 (Ohmeda, USA), OXI (Radiometer, Denmark), Dinamap-Oxytrak (Critikon, Johnson and Johnson, USA) pulse oximeters are useful and highly precise devices for rapid monitoring of vital functions of patient's during all types of anesthesia.

2. The delay in the response time of the Satlite Trans (Datex, Finland) and Biox-3700 (Ohmeda, USA) pulse oximeters in comparison with an invasive method for measuring the saturation of arterial blood hemoglobin with oxygen is 40 sec.

3. A system containing pulse oximeter and personal computer offers new opportunities for progress in the improvement of monitoring quality and ensuring safety of bronchoscopic examinations and operations. It also provides for timely documentation of surgical interventions.
