Abstract
The reliability of pulse oximeter, when applied to fingers or toes, may be
compromised in critically ill patients with low perfusion state.
So modification of oximeter probes to be applied to an area more central and highly perfused is required for more accurate monitoring.
This study is designed to compare pharyngeal pulse oximeter (which is a modified probe placed in highly perfused pharynx) to the finger pulse oximeter in critically ill patients with low perfusion state.
