Abstract
Background: Pulse oximetry is increasingly used in delivery rooms (DRs). Little is known about the newest generation of Nellcor oximeters, the Nellcor Oximax N-600x. We compared:□ HR measurements from Nellcor (HRNellcor) and Masimo oximeters (HRMasimo), against HR measured via three-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) (HRECG)□ Oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements between the Nellcor (SpO2Nellcor) and Masimo (SpO2Masimo) oximetersMethods: Infants born via elective caesarean section were studied. ECG leads were placed on the infant's chest. Masimo and Nellcor oximeter sensors were randomly allocated to each foot. Measurements were collected for 10mins. Screens from the oximeters and ECG monitor were..
