Abstract
A method for determining an arterial blood oxygen saturation level according to this invention includes measuring the light transmittance through tissue of light of a first wavelength and a second wavelength. A steady-state component of the measured light transmission is used to select an appropriate calibration curve. A pulsatile component of the measured light transmission is used to determine the arterial blood oxygen saturation level using the selected calibration curve. An oximetry system is also provided. An improved oximetry system is further provided wherein a plurality of light transmission measurements are used to determine a blood oxygen saturation level.
