Abstract
A hemodensitometer (photoelectric plethysmograph) has been utilized to sense the perfusion pulse at the plantar surface of the arch of the foot of premature babies. The sensed pulse-wave signal is then passed through a low-pass filter and then recorded. The resultant signal correlated well with the nasal mask respiration signal.
