Abstract
Background and Goal of study: Although a major advance in clinical monitoring, pulse oximetry may fail when peripheral perfusion is poor (1). Measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) at the cricopharyngeus has been attempted in anaesthetised patients, but readings varied with the orientation of the probe (2), and suffered from signal failure (3). We have recorded PPG signals from the lower oesophagus to determine optimal recording depth and signal quality
