Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare oxygen saturation measurement readings from manufactured pulse oximetry devices to the oxygen saturation measurements of arterial blood samples drawn at the same time of measurements.

Conditions

  • Oxygen Saturation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Finger hyperperfusion via adenosine

Subjects will be fitted with a mouthpiece and/or facemask to systematically reduce the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) they breathe, starting with room air (21% O2), and then progressive hypoxic mixtures of 18%, 15%, 12%, and 10% FiO2 in sequence for five minutes each. Blood flow to the hand downstream from the brachial catheter will be increased by brachial artery infusions of adenosine administered at 6.25 mcg/100ml tissue per minute for 30 minutes into the brachial artery to increase blood flow by 5 to 10-fold.

PROCEDURE

Finger hypoperfusion via by norepinephrine

Subjects will be fitted with a mouthpiece and/or facemask to systematically reduce the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) they breathe, starting with room air (21% O2), and then progressive hypoxic mixtures of 18%, 15%, 12%, and 10% FiO2 in sequence for five minutes each. Blood flow to the hand downstream from the brachial catheter will be decreased to \~25% of baseline, by infusing norepinephrine at 4 ng/100ml of tissue per minute for 30 minutes.

PROCEDURE

Baseline hypoxic test

Subjects will be fitted with a mouthpiece and/or facemask to systematically reduce the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) they breathe, starting with room air (21% O2), and then progressive hypoxic mixtures of 18%, 15%, 12%, and 10% FiO2 in sequence for five minutes each.
