Clinical accuracy of continuous hemoglobin oxygen saturation monitoring devices.
Three devices used to measure hemoglobin oxygen saturation in the extracorporeal circuit were studied and compared to a control. The Baxter Bentley OxySat, Oximetrix Accusat, and Radiometer ABL4 blood gas monitor were compared to a control, the IL 282 Co-Oximeter. ⋯ The Accusat was found to be a statistically more accurate means of monitoring hemoglobin oxygen saturations during cardiopulmonary bypass than the ABL4 and the OxySat. All devices had significant correlation with the control and with each other.
