title: Online measurements of SaO2, Ht and Hb using a micro transmission cell.
abstract: Recently a Micro Transmission Cell has been developed based on spectrophotometry for in vivo monitoring of SaO2 together with Hb. A study in pigs was performed to compare the cell with standard methods for measuring SaO2, Hb and Ht. The results show that the cell is capable of following the trends of SaO2, Hb and Ht at different Hb concentrations and/or O2 saturations.
