Background: As the use of pulse oximeters increases, the needs for higher performance and wider applicability of pulse oximetry have increased. To realize the full potential of pulse oximetry, it is indispensable to increase the number of optical wavelengths. To develop a multiwavelength oximetry system, a physical theory of pulse oximetry must be constructed.

Objectives: Pulse dye densitometry (PDD), based on the principles of pulse oximetry and dye-dilution technique, is a less invasive method of measuring cardiac output (CO). We have developed prototype equipment to measure CO in pediatric patients using this technique. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of this new PDD system using three wavelengths for pediatric application by comparing measurement with an ultrasound flowmeter.

Opening of the first door of pulse photometry gave us pulse oximeter. The next door opens to multiwavelength pulse photometry. It will give us a high performance pulse oximeter, providing a wide variety of clinical information simultaneously.
