Pulsoxymetry is noninvasive technique which is in use for percentage estimation of hemoglobin saturation of @entity26 in arterial blood. It represents a therapeutical screening of treatment in paediatric population. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the validity of noninvasive technique for determination of @entity26 concentration in cardiac and pulomological @entity1 . The study included 221 @entity1 , with a mean age of 39 months (1.5-192) who were hospitalised during the period of 1.6.2000. till 31.12.2002. at Pulmoalergology and Cardiorheumatology department of Paediatric clinic CCU Sarajevo. Three groups of @entity1 were evaluated: first one, which included 194/221 @entity1 with obstructive and @entity55 , 17/221 @entity1 formed II group of pts with @entity4297 ( @entity4297 ) and the third one which had 10/221 @entity1 with @entity4297 associated with @entity358 . In all @entity1 the diagnostic-laboratory investigations were done including transcutaneous determination of @entity26 saturation by pulsoxyimetry (PO) Nellcor and Johnson-Johnson, as well as capillary, with adequate treatment. The mean @entity26 saturation (OS) in the first group of @entity1 at admission by PO was 86%, capillary 73.6%, and after treatment OS PO was 91.6%. In the II group the mean OS at admission was 88.5% PO, capillary 83%, after treatment 94.9%. The mean OS at admission in third @entity1 's group was 76%, and after treatment 91.2% which is statistically significant (F = 0.03) and is in concordance with modern therapeutical approach. Pulseoxymetry is noninvasive, painless, simple method which offers a valid continuous data needed for the adequate choice of treatment in paediatric @entity1 .
