A prospective study for an alternative probe site for pulse oximetry measurement in male patients with severe burn trauma: penile shaf.

Background: Authors widely use pulse oximetry in clinical monitoring of heart rate (HR) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) by attachment to the fingers; however, there can be a need for an alternative attachment site, especially for burned patients. We investigate the availability of a pulse oximeter probe attached to the penile shaft as an alternative site in pediatric male patients if all extremities became unavailable for pulse oximetry measurement due to severe burn and/or trauma.

Methods: We designed a prospective comparative study in a training and research hospital.
