Abstract:
Objective To access the efficacy of oximeter in blood oxygen saturation monitoring in limb fracture patients. Method Monitor the blood oxygen saturation level in 200 patients with limb fractures , and determine whether blood circulation disorders exist in these patients accordingly. Results Within the 200 patients, 107 had normal blood oxygen saturation level, 50 patients had possible blood circulation disorder , 40 patients had blood circulation disorder, 3 patients had critical limb ischemia among which 2 were diagnosed as osteofascial compartment syndrome , and one as partial breakage of arteriovenous vessels. All the patients recovered well after prompt and proper treatment. Conclusion Blood oxygen saturation monitoring in post-limb- fracture patients using a oximeter can discover blood circulation disorders promptly , thus ensure proper treatment and avoid mal-practice and missed diagnosis.
