title: Arterial flow waveforms from pulse oximetry compared with measured Doppler flow waveforms apparatus.
abstract: This study compared derived arterial flow waveforms, extracted from pulse oximeter waveforms, with Doppler flow waveforms. Fingertip pulse oximeter waveforms and radial artery Doppler flow waveforms were measured simultaneously in volunteers. The pulse oximeter waveforms were processed to extract the arterial flow waveforms and these were compared with the measured Doppler waveforms. They were very similar.
