Measurement Of Mucosal Capillary Hemoglobin Oxygen Saturation in the Colon By Reflectance Spectrophotometry

摘要

Advances in optical and computer technology have enabled the development of a device that utilizes white-light reflectance spectrophotometry to measure capillary hemoglobin saturation in intestinal mucosa during colonoscopy. Studies were performed using the colon oximeter in anesthetized animals and patients undergoing colonoscopy. Mucosal hemoglobin saturation in the normal colon (mean +/-
