High Rejection Rate

Current oxygen delivery modes lack monitoring and can be cumbersome for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Integrating a pulse oximeter and nasal oxygen cannulas into eyeglasses would reduce the burden of current solutions. An ear pulse oximeter (OxyFrame) was evaluated on 16 healthy volunteers and 20 hypoxemic patients with chronic respiratory diseases undergoing a prespecified protocol simulating daily activities. Correlation, error, and accuracy root mean square error (ARMS) were calculated to compare SpO2 measured by OxyFrame, a standard pulse oximeter (MASIMO), and arterial blood gas analysis (aBGA). SpO2 measured by OxyFrame and MASIMO correlated strongly in volunteers, with low error and high accuracy (r = 0.85, error = 0.2 ± 2.9%, ARMS = 2.88%). Performances were similar in patients (r = 0.87, error 0 ± 2.5%, ARMS = 2.49% compared with MASIMO; and r = 0.93, error = 0.4 ± 1.9%, ARMS = 1.94% compared with aBGA). However, the percentage of rejected measurements was high (volunteers 77.2%, patients 46.9%). The OxyFrame cavum conchae pulse oximeter was successfully evaluated, and demonstrated accurate SpO2 measurements, compliant with ISO 80601-2-61:2017. Several reasons for the high rejection rate were identified, and potential solutions were proposed, which might be valuable for optimization of the sensor hardware.

Probe Placement

Placement of two different pulse oximeter probes, a finger (f) probe and a multisite (s) probe, was evaluated in six healthy, anesthetized beagles. Concurrent arterial blood gas values were compared to determine the most consistent (repeatable) and accurate (compared to calculated hemoglobin saturations) pulse oximeter probe and probe placement sites for subsequent use in awake dogs. Hemoglobin oxygen saturation was determined from arterial blood gas analysis (SaO2) and by pulse oximetry (SpO2) at full hemoglobin saturation (mean, 99.5% SaO2) and at moderate desaturation (mean, 92.9% SaO2). Each probe was evaluated with three independent readings at seven different body sites (Achilles, ear, flank, lip, tail, toe, and tongue). Values for SpO2 obtained with the s probe demonstrated a significant correlation with SaO2 values (p = 0.014, R = 0.712) compared to the SpO2 values obtained with the f probe (p = 0.108). The best probe placement sites for the clip-on probes in this study were on the lip and tongue using the s probe; however, the ear, tail, and toe may be acceptable sites in awake dogs using a probe which maintains good contact across these vascular beds.

AbstractStudy objectiveThe primary objective of the study was a quantitative analysis to assess the mean difference and 95% confidence interval of the difference between capillary and arterial blood gas analyses for pH, pCO2 and lactate. Secondary objective was to measure the sensitivity and specificity of capillary samples to detect altered pH, hypercarbia and lactic acidosis.MethodsAdults admitted to the ED for whom the treating physician deemed necessary an arterial blood gas analysis (BGA) were screened for inclusion. Simultaneous arterial and capillary samples were drawn for BGA. Agreement between the two methods for pH, pCO2 and lactate were studied with Bland-Altman bias plot analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value as well as AUC were calculated for the ability of capillary samples to detect pH values outside normal ranges, hypercarbia and hyperlactatemia.Results197 paired analyses were included in the study. Mean difference for pH, between arterial and capillary BGA was 0.0095, 95% limits of agreement were -0.048 to 0.067. For pCO2, mean difference was -0.3 mmHg, 95% limits of agreement were -8.5 to 7.9 mmHg. Lactate mean difference was -0.93 mmol/L, 95% limits of agreement were -2.7 to 0.8 mmol/L. At a threshold of 7.34 for capillary pH had 98% sensitivity and 97% specificity to detect acidemia; at 45.9 mmHg capillary pCO2 had 89% sensitivity and 96% specificity to detect hypercarbia. Finally at a threshold of 3.5 mmol/L capillary lactate had 66% sensitivity to detect lactic acidosis.ConclusionCapillary measures of pH, pCO2 and lactate can’t replace arterial measurements although there is high concordance between the two methods for pH and pCO2 and moderate concordance for lactate. Capillary blood gas analysis had good accuracy when used as a screening tool to detect altered pH and hypercarbia but insufficient sensitivity and specificity when screening for lactic acidosis.
