Summary

Perioperative non-invasive measurement of a patient's peripheral arterial oxygen saturation has become an accepted standard of care endorsed by anaesthesiologists and their regulatory bodies throughout the world. Pulse oximeters are an integral item on the World Health Organisation's Surgical Safety Checklist which is performed prior to the commencement of every surgical procedure. They are also utilised by other medical professionals and patients in various scenarios. When compared to conventional bedside pulse oximeters, portable fingertip devices have the advantages of cost-effectiveness, high portability, ease of use and battery operation. A review of recent literature reveals a paucity of accuracy studies in adult patients with various comorbidities in the clinical setting. Most data has been obtained under ideal laboratory conditions utilizing healthy adult volunteers. This study aims to pragmatically investigate the performance of a portable fingertip pulse oximeter in adult patients in a hospital setting.
