May enable non-invasive arterial waveform derivation from routine oximetry; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Describes a mathematical method to derive arterial flow waveforms from standard pulse oximeter waveforms by subtracting venous outflow.
Lucy Cook (2001) studied this question. Mathematical separation of arterial inflow and venous outflow was evaluated on Approximation to the arterial flow waveform. A mathematical method was developed to separate arterial inflow and venous outflow from pulse oximeter waveforms, allowing the derivation of an approximated arterial flow waveform.
