Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for monitoring a patient's blood oxygen content (through, e.g., an external finger probe using a pulse oximeter). If the patient's blood oxygen content falls below a selected level, a safe, yet effective, level of peripheral nerve stimulation would be delivered to the patient's wrist in the form of a milliamp current to arouse the patient.
