摘要:
A sensor provides pulse oximetry measurements from the presenting portion of a fetus. In particular, a spiral probe is designed to attach the sensor to the fetal scalp. In one sensor configuration, a light emitting region of the probe embedded in the scalp in conjunction with a light detector located at the scalp surface measures absorption from a larger volume of the scalp tissue than conventional fetal sensors. In another sensor configuration, light emitting and light collecting regions of the probe embedded in the scalp are angled with respect to the scalp surface to measure absorption from a larger volume and deeper layers of the scalp tissue than conventional fetal sensors. These sensors increase the likelihood of measuring blood volume changes occurring in larger arterioles versus smaller arterioles or capillaries, yielding a representative measurement of central arterial oxygen saturation. These sensors also reduce the calibration errors caused by a low blood fraction. Localized arteriolar flow is stimulated with heat or vasodilating substances to reduce the effects of localized oxygen consumption and to increase blood fraction. A three-wavelength sensor is utilized to detect a low blood fraction condition.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus to analyze two measured signals that are modeled as containing desired and undesired portions such as noise, FM and AM modulation. Coefficients relate the two signals according to a model defined. The method and apparatus are particularly advantageous to blood oximetry and pulserate measurements.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus measure blood oxygenation in a subject. A light source is activated to cause a first emission at a first wavelength and a second emission at a second wavelength. A detector detects a composite signal indicative of an attenuation of the first and second wavelengths by tissue of a patient. The composite signal is demodulated into a first intensity signal and a second intensity signal. Blood oxygenation in the subject is determined from the first and second intensity signals.

A pulse and active pulse spectraphotometry system comprises a light source adapted to illuminate a tissue site with optical radiation having a plurality of wavelengths selected from at least one of a primary band of about 1620 nm to about 1730 nm and a secondary band of about 1000 nm to about 1380 nm.
摘要:
A ceramic emitter substrate has a substrate body with top and bottom sides and a cavity disposed on the top side. Bonding pads are disposed within the cavity and solder pads are disposed on the bottom side. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are electrically connected to the bonding pads. Low-resistance conductors are disposed within the ceramic substrate body so as to interconnect the bonding pads and the solder pads. The interconnect is configured so that the LEDs can be individually activated as an array via row and column drive signals applied to the solder pads.

摘要:
A patient monitor has multiple sensors adapted to attach to tissue sites of a living subject. The sensors generate sensor signals that are responsive to at least two wavelengths of optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood within the tissue sites. A patient monitor uses the plurality of signals to reduce the effects of noise.
