Abstract
The article focuses on a study which compared the accuracy of forehead reflectance sensor (Max-Fast) and a conventional digital finger sensor in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome during a high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) recruitment manoeuvre. The study included 16 adult patients with respiratory distress syndrome, who were evaluated for blood oxygen saturation. Study authors concluded that finger sensor and forehead sensor are both accurate in determining arterial oxygen saturation determination.
