In our hospital, widespread utilization and clinical importance of arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation monitoring by pulse oximetry (SpO2) generated a growing cost-center in a time of fiscal restraint. We hypothesized that lamination of a pulse-oximeter sensor and insertion into a disposable, protective shield allowing reusability would not alter sensor response time or relative accuracy. ⋯ Lamination and protective shield applied to disposable sensors did not alter SpO2 measurements or response times to incremental reductions in SpO2 in a clinically important manner.
