Computer analysis of oximetry data in cardiac catheterization. 1978

P C Gillette, and G T Meester, and M D Hoare, and C Zeelenberg, and D G McNamara, and P G Hugenholtz

An on-line computer technique is described for the detection and quantitation of left-to-right shunts. The computer used Student's t test to evaluate the probability that variations in right heart oxygen saturations were due to left-to-right shunts. The computer method was found to compare favorably to the present step-up method of detecting left-to-right shunts. The computer also calculated pulmonary blood flow, systemic blood flow, their ratio, and shunt blood flow as accurately as standard methods, as evidenced by correlation coefficients of 0.98, 0.94, 0.95, and 0.71 between the computer and hand calculations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010092 Oximetry The determination of oxygen-hemoglobin saturation of blood either by withdrawing a sample and passing it through a classical photoelectric oximeter or by electrodes attached to some translucent part of the body like finger, earlobe, or skin fold. It includes non-invasive oxygen monitoring by pulse oximetry. Pulse Oximetry,Oximetry, Pulse,Oximetries,Oximetries, Pulse,Pulse Oximetries
D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D003936 Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted Application of computer programs designed to assist the physician in solving a diagnostic problem. Computer-Assisted Diagnosis,Computer Assisted Diagnosis,Computer-Assisted Diagnoses,Diagnoses, Computer-Assisted,Diagnosis, Computer Assisted
D006328 Cardiac Catheterization Procedures in which placement of CARDIAC CATHETERS is performed for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures. Catheterization, Cardiac,Catheterization, Heart,Heart Catheterization,Cardiac Catheterizations,Catheterizations, Cardiac,Catheterizations, Heart,Heart Catheterizations

D006343 Heart Septal Defects Abnormalities in any part of the HEART SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communication between the left and the right chambers of the heart. The abnormal blood flow inside the heart may be caused by defects in the ATRIAL SEPTUM, the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM, or both.
