Abstract:
This paper proposes a nonlinear method of detecting the blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a wide range on the basis of spectrophotometry, solves the nonlinear problem in detecting SpO2 in a wide range, and improves the applicable range and detection precision. CAN bus communication and DSP fast digital signal processing are utilized in the design of a non-invasive pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitor in a wide range, which has a measure error below 3% within a range of 35% approximately 100%, and is applicable for clinical monitoring and detection of cosmonauts' physiological signals. This oximeter's components and their functions are also introduced in detail in the paper.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
