2008, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :They also showed excellent correlation between heart rates measured by pulse oximeter and electrocardiogram in a prehospital setting. Bota and Rowe showed that the sensitivity of physical examination by ambulance attendants for the recognition of hypoxemia in adult patients with serious complaints (many with chest pain or shortness of breath) was only 28%.13 Even when oxygen was delivered, many patients remained hypoxemic.
Part 10: Pediatric advanced life support
2000, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Pulse oximetry is an important noninvasive monitor of the child with respiratory insufficiency because it enables continuous evaluation of the arterial oxygen saturation. This monitoring technique is useful in both out-of-hospital and in-hospital settings [63,64]. It may provide early indication of respiratory deterioration causing hypoxemia (eg, from the loss of an artificial airway, disconnection of the oxygen supply, or impending or actual respiratory failure) and ideally should be used during stabilization and transport, because clinical recognition of hypoxemia is not reliable [65].
