ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare postductal heart rate and saturation (SpO2) measurements from the wireless PO device obtained by iVital+ against measurements by the standard Masimo (SET technology) monitor in the monitoring of neonates.METHODS:
Pulse oximetry reading of newborns were assessed in terms of heart rate and saturations with two PO simultaneously attached to postductal site and data comparison was done.RESULTS:
Out of the 1000 cumulative recordings, the mean difference between HR obtained from both PO was 0.415 and level of agreement was 2.3 beats per minute. For SpO2 mean difference between devices was 1.21 and level of agreement was 1.5%. There was very little difference between SpO2 measurements when the Masimo SpO2 was ≥ 70%.CONCLUSION:
As this pulse oximeter is small, portable and accuracy is as comparable to Masimo, this provides a good solution for efficaciously monitoring neonates. It can also be used in the monitoring of children with suspected or affected with COVID-19 in hospital and ICU settings as also in the quarantine facilities. This reduces the need for constant presence of medical and nursing personnel.Keywords
