Abstract
With pulse oximetry it is possible to record the pulse-synchronic variation of the oxygen saturation due to variable blood flow during systole and diastole. In the present study on chicken embryos, the pulse rate based on oximetry was compared with the heart rate recorded by means of ECG. We conclude that the pulse curve detected by means of pulse oximetry can be used to determine the heart rate in chicken embryos between day 12 and day 20 of incubation.Entities:
