✦ Synopsis

Arterial oxygen saturation is now one of the important values in paediatries. It is not always possible to perform repeated estimations in infants and children after puncture of an artery. An apparatus that renders the determination of oxygen saturation of capillary blood possible is tested. The blood specimen is gained by prick incisions. These methods stand the statistical tests under the conditions applicable in paediatrie cases. The values are also sufficiently accurate in neonates and cyanosed children (e.g. congenital heart diseases) when certain conditions are taken into consideration. If the circulation at the site of the prick incision is poor and if the child screams vigorously, the value of the capillary oxygen saturation thus gained is not reliable. A comparison between the oxygen saturation values gained by the capillary and hemoreflectometer methods is also statistically valid, if 1 day or 2 lie between the tests. The apparatus is especially suitable in paediatrie cardiology and intensive care.

After establishing the methodical and technical prerequisites, the microoxymeter OSM 1 (Radiometer, Copenhagen) was used to determine the capfllary O2-saturation in routine clinical practice. 1. Studies on 10 normal neonates in the first 4 days of life showed an initial hypoxia of an average O2-sat
