IMPROVED ARTERIAL BLOOD MONITORING SYSTEM ABSTRACT This improved arterial blood monitoring system takes advantage of the basic statistical property of arterial blood that arterial blood contains a plurality of dominant absorbers, whose measured light absorption spectra appear as a constant over a short interval of time. The arterial blood characteristics to be measured are empirically related to the changes in the measured light transmission through the plurality of dominant absorbers as a function of the change in arterial blood volume at the probe site. Therefore, by measuring the transmitted light as it varies with arterial pulsation at selected wavelengths of light, the relative amount of these dominant absorbers in the arterial blood can noninvasively be determined. By selecting one wavelength of light around 1270nm, where water has a measurable extinction and a second wavelength at about 810nm, a wavelength that is substantially isobestic to oxygenated and reduced hemoglobin, a direct relationship between the transmitted intensities at these two wavelengths and the arterial hemoglobin concentration will exist and can be calculated. The use of a plurality of wavelengths of light enable the arterial blood monitoring system to concurrently measure a-number of characteristics of arterial blood. By selecting wavelengths of light around 660nm, 940nm and 1270nm, the values of total hemoglobin and oxygen saturation of arterial blood can simultaneously be determined. In addition, oxygen content of arterial blood can be calculated from these values of total hemoglobin and oxygen saturation.
