Comparison of Different Locations for Pulse Oximetry Probes in Adult Cardiovascular Patients With Poor Peripheral Perfusion
The purpose of this study is to determine if the forehand location for sensor placement has
less episodes of signal dropout than the finger sensor location. In addition, this study
will evaluate two finger sensors, which utilize different technology to compare signal
quality.
A comparison study design will be used to evaluate the signal quality of pulse oximetry
sensors placed in two locations: forehand and finger. Each subject will serve as their own
control, with measurements of signal quality evaluated at 2 second intervals over a period
of one hour. The measurements will be recorded simultaneously with a computer program and
laptop computer. Finger and forehand sensors will be applied according to manufacturer's
guidelines. An output connection will be made from each pulse oximeter computer unit to a
password protected, laptop computer for data downloading. Data will be collected for a 1
hour period at 2 second increments and stored in the hard drive of the laptop. Following
completion of data collection, the study sensors will be removed.
