Key Points

To develop and clinically validate a real-time peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) estimation algorithm using chest reflectance photoplethysmography against reference arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2).
Designed an algorithm using green photoplethysmography for beat detection, a heart-rate-adaptive analysis window, normalized cross-correlation signal quality assessment, and least-squares estimation of the red-to-infrared ratio of ratios.
Evaluated algorithm performance against arterial blood gas analyzer SaO2 measurements under controlled desaturation conditions.
Achieved an accuracy root mean square of 2.91% relative to reference arterial SaO2.
Demonstrated the technical feasibility of real-time SpO2 extraction from low-perfusion chest reflectance signals subject to motion and respiratory artifacts.
