Evaluation of a combined reflectance photoplethysmography and laser Doppler flowmetry surface probe

摘要

This study presents evaluation of a system combining laser Doppler flowmetry and photoplethysmography (PPG) in a single probe for the simultaneous measurement of perfusion and blood flow in the finger. A cuff sphygmomanometer was used to partially occlude the arteries supplying the hand to investigate the effect of low pressure on photoplethysmographic and laser Doppler signals and also on calculated arterial blood oxygen saturation values (SpO
