Item Aproximación a un protocolo de calibración para el pulsioxímetro(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Arroyo Olayo , Dayana Andrea; Realpe Gomez, Karen Patricia; Argüello, Erick Javier (Director)In clinical practice, the pulse oximeter is one of the most used devices for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases related to oxygen saturation (SpO2). For this reason, health service providers must have specific protocols for these instruments based on current regulations. However, in Colombia, the current regulations only present general guidelines for the calibration of biomedical devices and there is no standardized protocol for the calibration of pulse oximeters that is based on current regulations. For these reasons and to contribute to the improvement of quality in the provision of the health service, this monograph proposes a calibration protocol for the pulse oximeter that guarantees its proper functioning and, therefore, correct and reliable measurements. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted and it included a search in 4 databases: Google Scholar, Realdcy, Scielo and universiry repositories. 354 documents published in the years 2007-2020 were found. After removing duplicates and examining each of the identified studies, 27 documents were obtained for analysis, including degree theses, legal documents, journal articles, and technical reports. The analysis showed that Colombia is the country with the largest literature on the subject and the only one where a specific protocol has been formulated to calibrate pulse oximeters, but under NTC 7025 of 2005, which makes this protocol out of date today. The proposed protocol is structured in three phases: a first for diagnosis, a second for electrical assurance, and a third and last for the actual calibration of the pulse oximeter. With this contribution, it is expected to submit the proposed protocol to a rigorous evaluation in order to detect shortcomings and make the necessary improvements for its subsequent implementation.
