Averaging
(Masimo only)
The user-selectable averaging feature allows the
clinician to select the desired level of visibility to
subtle variations in the measured value.
Depending on the patient acuity and area of
care, shorter averaging times are sometimes
preferred (sleep testing) over longer averaging
times (telemetry) and vice-versa.
8-second averaging is generally considered the
most common averaging interval and
recommended for most patients since it is short
enough to provide visibility to subtle
desaturations while also being long enough to
minimize major changes in SpO
2
due to quick,
transitory desaturations. Although averaging
times greater than 10 seconds are more likely to
reduce visibility to rapid, brief desaturations, this
may be desirable in care areas where brief
desaturations that do not require clinician
intervention occur more often (such as NICU). It
is also recommended that this be enabled as a
“sticky” configuration so as to hold the setting
after power cycles.
