Oropharyngeal and Tongue Pulse Oximetry in 2 Critically Ill Pediatric Patients: A Case Report

Oropharyngeal and Tongue Pulse Oximetry in 2 Critically Ill Pediatric Patients: A Case Report Pulse oximetry has become a standard of care to monitor oxygenation. Absent or inaccurate readings can occur with varied patient states. We present preliminary experience with a modification of a standard pulse oximetry using readily available equipment (oral airway and a tongue blade) to allow for continuous pulse oximetry from the oral cavity and tongue in 2 critically ill pediatric patients when standard application of pulse oximetry was not feasible or nonfunctional. These modifications can assist in the care of critically ill patients, allowing for adaptability in monitoring techniques when other options are unavailable. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png A & A Case Reports Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Pulse oximetry has become a standard of care to monitor oxygenation. Absent or inaccurate readings can occur with varied patient states. We present preliminary experience with a modification of a standard pulse oximetry using readily available equipment (oral airway and a tongue blade) to allow for continuous pulse oximetry from the oral cavity and tongue in 2 critically ill pediatric patients when standard application of pulse oximetry was not feasible or nonfunctional. These modifications can assist in the care of critically ill patients, allowing for adaptability in monitoring techniques when other options are unavailable.
