Abstract

Purpose: Numerous false alarms by pulse oximetry, which is widely used in neonatal intensive care unit, can delay response to true alarms. Masimo $SET^{(R)}$ was introduced lately, to overcome false alarms by motion. We compared the clinical performance of two devices (Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$ and Masimo $SET^{(R)}$) for the evaluation of the false alarm frequency during usual motion artifacts and stable state. Methods: A total of 20 preterm infants weighing 1,000-2,500 g were enrolled in the study. The sensors of two devices were placed on the different feet on the same infants, and both devices were programmed to emit an alarm for episode of hypoxemia (SpO2$\leq$85%). The false alarms were defined as episodes of poor correlation with ECG heart rate, poor waveforms, and the absence of obvious signs of hypoxia. We compared the frequency of false alarms between the two devices. Results: The mean chronological age was 20.8 days and the mean body weight was 1,668 g on the study day. The frequency of total false alarm was significantly fewer for Masimo $SET^{(R)}$ pulse oximetry (48 in Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$, 27 in Masimo $SET^{(R)}$) although the false alarm during usual motion artifacts was not significantly between two devices (32 in Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$, 19 in Masimo $SET^{(R)}$). Conclusion: The Masimo $SET^{(R)}$ pulse oximetry has fewer false alarm rates and identified more true hypoxic events than Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$ pulse oximetry. Therefore, it is useful for adequate oxygen therapy and helps to decrease unnecessary handling by clinicians and nurses.

목적: 신생아 집중치료실에서 널리 이용되고 있는 맥박산소측정장치의 과도한 거짓 알람은 참 알람에 대한 반응을 느리게 하였다. 이에 Masimo $SET^{(R)}$는 움직임에 의한 거짓 알람을 극복한 장치로 소개되었다. 저자들은 안정 시나 일상적인 움직임이 있을 때 두 장치간의 거짓 알람의 빈도를 조사함으로써 Nellcor$N-595^{(R)}$와 Masimo $SET^{(R)}$의 임상적 수행능력을 비교하고자 하였다. 방법: 연구 당시 체중이 1,000-2,500 g인 미숙아 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 두 장치의 sensor를 동일한 환아의 양쪽 발에 각각 부착한 후 산소포화도가 85% 이하인 경우 알람이 울리도록 하였다. 맥박산소포화도 측정장치의 알람이 울린 경우 중에서 장치의 맥박수가 심전도의 심박수와 차이가 나는 경우, 파형이 일정하게 그려지지 않는 경우, 저산소증의 뚜렸한 증상이 없는 경우를 거짓 알람으로 정의하였고 두 장치의 거짓 알람의 빈도를 비교하였다. 결과: 대상 환아의 나이는 출생 후 평균 20.8일이었으며 평균체중은 1,668 g이었다. 두 장치간의 전체 거짓 알람의 빈도는 Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$에 비해 Masimo $SET^{(R)}$에서 유의하게 적었으나 (Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$에서 48회, Masimo $SET^{(R)}$에서 27회), 일상적인 움직임이 있을 경우 두 장치간의 거짓 알람의 빈도는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$에서 32회, Masimo$SET^{(R)}$에서 19회). 결론: Masimo $SET^{(R)}$는 Nellcor $N-595^{(R)}$에 비해 거짓 알람의 빈도가 적고 실제 저산소증 여부를 잘 반영하므로 적절한 산소치료에 유용하고 의료진의 불필요한 처치를 감소시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
