Monitoring
12-28
If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the Oxisensor R-15 sensor; it
obtains measurements from the nasal septal anterior ethmoid artery, an artery
supplied by the internal carotid. This sensor may obtain measurements when
peripheral perfusion is relatively poor. For low peripheral perfusion, consider using
the Nellcor RS-10 sensor, which is applied to the forehead or temple. These are sites
that may be spared during peripheral vasoconstriction.
