Rotes Licht auf zyanotischer Haut

Die Pulsoxymetrie zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung der arteriellen Sauerstoffsättigung und ggf. Steuerung der Sauerstoffzufuhr ist auf neonatologischen Stationen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wie bei jeder Medizintechnik gibt es jedoch technische Voraussetzungen für die korrekte Anwendung, und man benötigt Hintergrundwissen für die korrekte Interpretation der Messergebnisse.
