Abstract
In this lecture we review recent advances in the monitor- ing of patient oxygenation. The transport of oxygen from the atmosphere to the mitochondrion will be discussed, and monitors that function at each of four stages of the transport process will be described. These four stages in- clude respired gas, arterial blood, tissue, and venous blood. Respired gas monitors will be mentioned only briefly. Recent developments in pulse oximetry will be reviewed in detail. Continuous intraarterial blood-gas sensors will be contrasted with other arterial oxygen mon- itors. We will also cover tissue oxygen monitoring and mixed-venous oximetry.
