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 all based on transmission photoplethysmography (PPG) requiring the light to go through the perfused tissue and limiting the placement of the sensors to the limbs. To overcome the limitation of currently-used transmission probes, a novel design based on multichannel reflective pulse oximetry is presented which also integrates electrodes for ECG and respiration monitoring.
