11.2.3 Monitoring Procedure
Sensor selection for SpO
2
measurement depends on the patient type. For an adult patient, you can
choose a finger SpO
2
sensor; for an infant patient, you can choose a hand or toe sensor. Refer to
the following procedure.
1. Power on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the proper site on the patient.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 connector on monitor.
Finger Sensor Placement
You can easily place the finger sensor as shown below.
Figure 11-2 Finger Sensor Placement
NOTE
z Place the SpO2 sensor cable at the backside of the patient hand. Make sure the
fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
Neonate Sensor Placement
Neonate SpO
2
sensor consists of a Y-shape SpO
2
sensor and its sheath. Insert the LED and PD
ends of the Y-shape SpO
2
sensor respectively into the upper and lower grooves on the sheath
(Figure 11-3). The Figure 11-4 shows us the neonate SpO
2
sensor after insertion.
