Design of Pulse Oximeters is a unique handbook which describes the hardware & software needed to make a pulse oximeter, & includes the equations, methods, & software required for them to function effectively. It is written for biomedical engineers, medical physicists, & health care providers. It begins with a brief description of how oxygen is delivered to the tissue, historical methods for measuring oxygenation, & the invention of the pulse oximeter in the early 1980s. Subsequent chapters explain oxygen saturation display, how to use an LED, provide a survey of light sensors, & review probes & cables. It contains useful worked examples, several worked equations, flow charts & examples of algorithms used to calculate oxygen saturation. The book closes with an assessment of techniques which may be used to analyse pulse oximeter performance, & a brief overview of pulse oximetry applications. Also includes a glossary of terms, instructional objectives by chapter, & references to further reading. Suitable for all medical personnel as a reference, & as a handbook for engineers.
