The Nellcor N-101 pulse oximeter. A clinical evaluation in anaesthesia and intensive care.
The accuracy of the Nellcor N-101 pulse oximeter has been evaluated in adult patients receiving general anaesthesia or intensive care. Readings obtained noninvasively with this instrument were compared with measurements made on arterial blood using a Radiometer OSM2 oximeter. The pulse oximeter was easy to use and within the range tested (70-100 percent saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen) the readings were within I digit of the values obtained by in vitro measurement.
