[Skin lesions caused by oxygen saturation monitor probe: pathogenetic considerations concerning 2 neonatal cases].
Two cases of skin injury by a pulse oximeter probe are reported. The Authors hypothesize the local pressure as pathogenetic mechanism of the skin lesion and emphasize the importance of a careful management of critically ill patients during non-invasive monitoring.
