Abstract
Within the past 4 years, pulse oximetry has become widely used in anesthesia and many associated critical care situations. At least 15 manufacturers are now marketing these instruments. They have had a major negative effect on the sales of transcutaneous oxygen electrodes. It is thus appropriate to discuss oximetry in this 3rd International Symposium on Transcutaneous Blood Gas Monitoring. Poul Astrup and I have recently published a book and papers on this history [1–2] and Petersen briefly reviewed pulse oximetry history [3].
