Preparing for SpO

monitoring 55

When sensors have been in use for a short time only, you can
refresh the adhesive surfaces with a cotton swab saturated with a
70% isopropanol solution. Leave the sensor to dry thoroughly in
air before reattaching it.

A sensor can be secured with an adhesive strip on less sensitive
patients. Velcro strips are available for more sensitive patients.

Use a new sensor when the old one can no longer be properly se-
cured.
