Is There a Difference in Recovery Time for the Accurate Display of Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and Pulse Rate (PR) after Motion Induced Failure of Pulse Oximeters (PO) During Low Perfusion and Normoxemia or Hypoxemia in Human Volunteers?

Overview: Monitoring arterial oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry has become standard of care in the Operating Room (OR) and Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Patient movement occurs frequently in the PACU and in the OR, especially during pediatric induction and emergence. Conventional pulse oximeters do not perform well in motion especially when there is low perfusion at the monitored site. These researchers wanted to compare differences in motion and low perfusion induced failure rate and the time to redisplay accurate numbers (recovery time) among "motion resistant" pulse oximeters.
