Abstract
The optical pulse oximeter has gained broad clinical applications in rapidly and noninvasively measuring arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2) (Yelderman and New, 1983; Severinghaus, 1987; Pologe, 1987). However, major shortcoming of the current transmission oximeters is the requirement of a cuvette through which light signals must be transmitted, thus limiting its application to fingertip or earlobe. More broad applications can be achieved with the reflectance mode.
