In vivo investigation of ear canal pulse oximetry during hypothermia [PDF]
Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2017 Pulse oximeters rely on the technique of photoplethysmography (PPG) to estimate arterial oxygen saturation (SpO$$_2$$2). In conditions of poor peripheral perfusion such as hypotension, hypothermia, and vasoconstriction, the PPG signals detected are often

The Loudness of Suctioning in the Ear Canal. [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 Aim To determine the loudness of suctioning in the ear canal with different-sized suctions and various mediums. Aural microsuctioning is commonly used in the otolaryngologist's office setting for cerumen removal and aural toilet. We hypothesize that the intensity of the sound would increase with increasing viscosity of the medium and increasing suction
