진정요법하의 치과진료에서 환자의 상태를 지속적으로 감시하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 여러 방법 중 가장 널리 사용되는 것 중 Pulse Oximeter가 있다. Pulse Oximeter는 비침습적 방법으로 계속해서 동맥혈액의 산소포화도를 측정할 수 있도록 고안된 장치로서 기기에 나타나는 산소포화도$(SpO_2)$는 실제로 측정한 동맥혈액의 산소포화도$(SaO_2)$와 거의 일치하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 진료실에 있는 세종류의 Pulse Oximeter를 이용하여 한 환자에게 동시에 두 개의 기기를 적용하였을 경우, 산출값을 상호 비교한 결과, 짧은(3회) 맥박수를 평균하는 기기가 낮은값이 나왔으며, 다른 두개의 Pulse Oximeter와 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 짧은 맥박수를 평균하는 기기는 반응이 빠르나, 산소포화도의 값이 작게 산출되고, 외부의 신호에 더욱 민감하여, 오류가 존재할 가능성 또한 높다. 기기의 특성을 알아, 술자는 적절한 기기를 선택하는 것이 중요하다.

In this paper, we propose new method of signal processing for the Pulse Oximeter for resistant motion artifact. When measure Oxygen saturation, today Pulse Oximeter is low reality because of patient moving, and it low difficult to filtering because of overlap Oxygen saturation and motion artifact. For we measure high reality Oxygen saturation, we reduces motion artifact. In this paper, we Propose and simulate method of signal processing for the Pulse Oximeter for resistant motion artifact.

치수 생활력 검사시 전통적인 방법으로 전기치수검사나 온도변화검사 등이 있다. EPT와 ice test 즉, 전기치수검사와 온도변화검사는 치아의 신경학적 반응에 의해 치아의 실활여부를 판단하는 방법으로 환자가 아동일때는 정확한 반응을 얻기가 어렵고, 환자의 주관적 반응을 판단해야 하므로 객관적이지 못하고, 소아 환자에게 좋지 못한 자극을 주어 행동 조절의 문제를 일으키며, 거짓 양성반응과 거짓 음성반응이 나을 수 있다는 등의 한계가 있다. 최근에는 전통적인 방법의 한계를 극복하려는 시도에서 혈관의 보전성을 평가하는 방법인 laser doppler flowmetry와 pulse oximeter를 이용하는 방법이 소개되고 있다. Pulse oximeter의 원리는 두 가지 종류의 파장의 빛을 귀, 손가락등 생체의 말단에 투과시켜 발산된 빛과 감지된 빛간의 두 파장의 흡수비로 산소 포화 정도를 알아내는 것으로서 이에 착안하여 또 하나의 생체 말단인 치아에 이를 적용하여 치아의 실활 여부를 판단하는 것이다. 이 보고에서는 치수 생활력 검사시 pulse oximeter의 사용 가능성에대해 검증하고 이의 임상적용에 대해 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 함을 목적으로 했는데 생활치 에서는 평균 96.3%의 산소 포화도를 실활치에서는 평균 0.0%의 산소 포화도를 얻어냄으로서 pulse oximeter가 치아의 실활여부 판단에 있어 유용한 진단도구로서의 가치가 있다는 것이 밝혀졌다.

A conventional pulse oximeter has high power consumption; thus, its mobility is severely limited. In this paper, we discuss the drawbacks of the existing pulse oximeters and propose a new ultra-low-power pulse oximeter that supports wireless data transmission for remotely monitoring vital signs, such as peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) and beats per minute (BPM). We could notably reduce power consumption by using a low-frequency single clock in all well-customized modules. Also, our device is publicly certified, and thus, possibly engaged in clinical trials for commercial use.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the oxygen saturation measured at fingertips with unpolished and self-artificial nails (sticker, tip) using a portable pulse oximeter. Methods: The sample comprised 27 women who had used nail care services. Using a pulse oximeter, oxygen saturation was measured at fingertips with unpolished nails in a stable state. Self-fabricated sticker and tip nails were attached to the right and left hands, respectively, using five nail colors (black, blue, green, purple, and brown). Oxygen saturation was measured at fingertips with self-fabricated nails first in the usual manner and then measured again by rotating the oximeter by 90°. Values of oxygen saturation were compared and analyzed using the Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test with Bonferroni correction using IBM SPSS 26.0. Results: Oxygen saturation values were significantly different among colors for both sticker nails (p=.036) and tip nails (p=.000), with black self-artificial nails tending to demonstrate lower oxygen saturation. Moreover, oxygen saturation values obtained by measuring the usual way on unpolished nails was significantly different than those obtained by rotating the oximeter by 90° on thumb with sticker (p=.001) and tip nails (p=.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that oxygen saturation should be measured on other fingers except for thumb instead of removing the self-artificial nails in emergency situations. For patients with black self-artificial nails, is the findings recommend measuring oxygen saturation at other body parts such as toes, earlobes, forehead, etc.

산소포화도 계측기는 파장대가 다른 두 개의 광원을 사용하여 신체 일부분에 빛을 투과시켜 나타나는 두 신호를 측정하여 측정된 신호로부터 산소포화도를 구하게 되며, 이러한 광학적 방법은 혈액내의 산소가 빛을 흡수하는 성질을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 혈중 산소포화도는 제 5의 생체신호라 불릴 정도로 현대 의학에서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 산소포화도 계측기는 사용자가 산소포화도를 보는 용도로서 사용하였고, 통신을 사용한 모니터링 기능이 부족하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 산소포화도 계측기에 블루투스 기능을 활용하여 외부의 Gateway와의 통신을 위해 의료기기 표준화 프로토콜인 IEEE11073-10404를 내장한 산소포화도 계측기를 설계하였다.

In this paper, we aims to develop a microcontroll er-based ECG monitoring system and portable pulse oximeter using Compact Flash Interface. First, portable pulse oximeter system is designed to record 2 channel of biosignals simultaneously, including 1 channel of $SpO_2$ and 1 channel of pulse rate. It is very small and portable. Besides, the system makes it possible to measure a patient's condition without an additional medical equipment. We tried to solve the problems generated by a patient's motion. That is, we added an analog circuit to a traditional pulse oximeter in order to eliminate the change of the base line. And we used 2D sector algorithm. As present, SpO2 modules are completed. But there are still many further development needed in order to enhance the function. Especially, compact falsh interface remains the most to complete. Second, ECG monitoring system uses almost same as present 3-lead ECG system. But we focus on the analog part, especially in filter. The proposed filter is composed of two parts. One is a filter to remove the power-line interface. The other is a filter to remove the baseline drift. A filter to remove the power-line and the baseline drift is necessarily used in the ECG system. The implemented filter have three features; minimizing the distortion in DC component, removing the harmonic component of power-line frequency. Using compact flash interface, we can easily transfer a patient's personal information and the measured signal data to a network based server environment. That means, it is possible to implement a patient's monitoring system with low cost.

With the continuous aging of the populations in developed countries, the medical requirements of the aged are expected to increase. In this paper, a ring-type pulse oximeter finger sensor and a 24-hour ambulatory heart rate monitoring system for the aged are presented. We also demonstrate the feasibility of extracting accurate heart rate variability measurements from photoelectric plethysmography signals gathered using a ring-type pulse oximeter sensor attached to the finger. We designed the heart rate sensor using a CPU with built-in ZigBee stack for simplicity and low power consumption. We also analyzed the various distorted signals caused by motion artifacts using a FFT, and designed an algorithm using a least squares estimator to calibrate the signals for better accuracy.

The U-healthcare is increasingly important as there is a growing tendency for elderly people to acquire chronic disease such as heart problems and high blood pressure. In this paper, we implemented an oximeter which can interact and communicate with the smart devices such as smartphones through which users can manage their measuring data. The designed pulse oximeter is capable of detecting hemoglobin saturation levels in the range of 70-100% and the heart beat rate(BPM) in the range of 30-240 BPM.

In this paper, we implemented a pulse wave type oximeter system that continuously measure the of oxyhemoglobin saturation of the arterial blood(SaO2) and pulse rate with non-invasively. We use the transmission type and reflection type transducer for comparison the percentage of hemoglobin oxgen saturation. The light Iron the two kind of LEDs is transmitted through the tissue, then received by a single photodiode with alternatively. By the phase sensitive detection circuit, the output of the photodiode is separated in to red and near infrared signal. We calculated a ratio of light transmittance between two kind of LEDs, and then, it is applied to the oxgen saturation coefficent calculation formular.
