The theory and applications of pulse spectrophotometry.
Opening of the first door of pulse photometry gave us pulse oximeter. The next door opens to multiwavelength pulse photometry. It will give us a high performance pulse oximeter, providing a wide variety of clinical information simultaneously. This next generation of pulse photometry should further improve bedside monitoring and patient care.
