ABSTRACT
Anaesthesia can induce hypoxaemia. Pulse oximetry gives continuous non invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation. No arterial puncture is needed. Ninety-four patients were monitored by pulse oximetry during neuroleptanalgesia for colonoscopy. Eighteen patients showed desaturation episodes of less than 90%, eight linked to opioid-induced respiratory depression. In all patients, pulse oximetry gave clinicians an immediate awareness of the incident. Treatment was facilitated. Pulse oximetry made anaesthesia safer.
