In intensive care clinical nursing, blood oxygen monitoring is crucial. The human body's metabolic process is a biological oxidation process. The oxygen required for metabolism enters the bloodstream through the respiratory system, combines with hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin (HbO2), and is then transported to various tissue cells in the body.
Oxygen therapy equipment is indispensable in intensive care units and extremely important for patients. The main methods of oxygen supply are oxygen cylinders and centralized oxygen supply systems. However, current oxygen supply equipment has a simple structure and cannot display or adjust the oxygen flow rate. It also lacks the ability to filter, humidify, and heat the oxygen, which can easily irritate the patient and hinder recovery. Therefore, other equipment is needed to monitor the oxygen levels in the oxygen therapy equipment.
As the sole functional device for data acquisition and a fundamental information technology product, sensors can quantitatively and accurately acquire all physiological parameters reflecting health signs, such as blood glucose, blood lipids, blood oxygen, blood pressure, cardiac output, electroencephalogram (EEG), skin conductance, and body temperature. For critically ill patients, the oxygen content in their arterial blood is a crucial indicator for doctors to monitor and evaluate vital signs. Currently, the most commonly used medical oxygen sensor is the electrochemical type, commonly known as an oxygen cell. The Oksidyne OKS-1 electrochemical oxygen sensor from the USA, offered by ICbuy.com, is well-suited for detecting oxygen concentration in intensive care unit (ICU) oxygen delivery systems.
The OKS-1 electrochemical oxygen sensor is a precision electrochemical microfuel cell oxygen sensor. It offers a wide configuration range, analyzing oxygen from 0-100.0%. It exhibits excellent stability, performance, and linearity, and can replace City Tech MOX-1, AII PSR-11-917-M, ITG M-16, Viamed R-22Vi, and Envintec OOM102.
