Abstract
A two wavelength photometric fibre-optic reflectance sensor was developed for assessing abdominal organ perfusion. In vitro tests showed that reliable photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) values were recorded when the separation between emitting and receiving fibres was at 3mm and the emitting current was between 20mA-40mA. In a clinical study, good quality PPG signals were obtained from the small and large bowel of a patient undergoing laparotomy. Abdominal organ SpO2 were in good agreement with those obtained from a commercial device. These observations suggest that the fibre-optic sensor may be suitable for monitoring abdominal organ perfusion.
