Abstract
Arterial oxygen saturation is one of the key parameters routinely monitored using pulse oximetry (SpO2) in neonatal intensive care units. However, available SpO2 probes for neonates are based on so-called transmission photoplethysmography (PPG) technique, limiting its use to body locations such as the limbs. To overcome this limitation, a novel multichannel reflective probe was developed, integrating ECG electrodes and respiration monitoring. After Swissmedic approval, the probe is currently being validated on neonatal patients at the University Hospital Zurich (UZH).
