Development and Validation of Correction Equations to Enhance Quality of Infrared Technology
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the contributors to infrared medical device errors and to develop correction algorithms to improve the accuracy of pulse oximeters and temporal thermometers in patients with acute respiratory failure. Over one million adults are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in the US every year for acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. In these patients, it is essential to have accurate oxygen saturation and temperature measurements. Pulse oximeters and temporal thermometers, which measure oxygen saturation and body temperature, are the two most ubiquitous infrared devices in the ICU. However, these devices are significantly less…
