A non-invasive way of checking not only the patient's oxygenation but also that the blood is circulating, it is being adopted worldwide for use by anaesthetists, intensive care staff and specialist nurses.Pulse oximetry is very easy to apply, but without a clear understanding of its operation and limitations it is all too easy to misinterpret the results displayed by it.This revised edition contains a new chapter on fetal pulse oximetry.Comprehensive and up to date, this is the most accessible book yet for clinical users of a technique that is now becoming mandatory in anaesthesia and intensive care. |
