Description:
The Forehead Sensor detects changes in SpO2 faster than finger sensors,and with accuracy that more closely
tracks to arterial blood data.Cold causes vasoconstriction and low peripheral perfusion.
Cold causes vasoconstriction and low peripheral perfusion.The forehead of a healthy adult exposed to cold
temperatures stays warm while the fingers,ears and nose lose heat
During poor peripheral perfusion,forehead Sensors reflect changes in SpO2 typically one to two minutes earlier
than when digit sensors are used.The sensor can often obtain SpO2 readings when digit sensors fail to detect
pulsatile signals.The forehead site is less vulnerable to peripheral vasoconstriction and hence maintains signals
longer than digit sensors during poor peripheral circulation.Ear sensors show degraded signal strength during
similar conditions.
Other advantages of the forehead site include the following:
* The forehead is more accessible in areas such as the operating suite,where patients’ hands are often covered
and beyond the reach of the anesthesiologist.
