Abstract

Pulse oximeter has become a standard in intensive and critical care units for the monitoring of oxygen support from respiratory system since 1990’s. The multi-wavelength photoplethysmography (PPG) technique is now utilized for the measurement of arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter (SpO2). This research utilized multi-channel autoregressive (AR) spectral estimation method for the coherence analysis between the respiratory signal and the PPG signal derived from pulse oximeter. Five healthy male subjects participated in this research with signals being measured at different respiratory status. The results demonstrate high coherence between respiration and the PPG signal from pulse oximeter, and the coherence disappears in breath-holding experiments. The results demonstrate that the respiratory status can also be acquired from the measurement of arterial oxygen saturation. This implies the possibility to acquire the physiological parameters other than arterial oxygen saturation form pulse oximeters.
