Stroke is the number one cause of disability and the second cause of death in the world. Blood flow that is not smooth in stroke patients causes hemodynamic disorders including changes in the value of oxygen saturation in the blood (SpO2) which can interfere with the function of internal organs including the heart due to lack of oxygen intake. So we need a system to monitor the oxygen saturation value which can be used as an early indicator in recognizing stroke patients. This system uses detection of two sensors to measure oxygen saturation in the blood, a microcontroller to process data, a monitor to display data, a buzzer as a warning of the lower limit of measurement and a micro sd card module to store measurement data that has been running. Parameters displayed include the date of measurement, patient ID, SpO2-1, SpO2-2, last SpO2-1 and last SpO2-2. This system will measure and display the SpO2 value of both right and left arms simultaneously. Stroke patients who experience muscle weakness in one hand may experience different values with a hand that does not experience muscle weakness. This study aims to develop an SpO2 monitoring system that will be used to detect stroke patients with non-invasive methods. The results show that the system has been developed and can be used to measure the patient's SpO2 from both hands simultaneously with a measurement error rate of ±2% for each sensor from standard medical equipment.

Penyandang stroke yang menjalani perawatan dalam kondisi tirah baring yang terlalu lama dapat menyebabkan nyeri tekan sehingga sangat beresiko terjadinya dekubitus. Hal ini dikarenakan ketidakmampuan pasien merawat dirinya sendiri atau setidaknya berupaya untuk mengubah posisi tidur sehingga tidak terjadi penekanan pada daerah yang sama dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu keluarga berperan dalam pencegahan terjadinya dekubitus pada pasien yang mengalami kelemahan fisik dalam kasus stroke. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan keluarga dengan resiko kejadian dekubitus pada pasien stroke. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah studi korelatif. Populasinya adalah pasien stroke yang mengalami tirah baring dengan jumlah populasi 40 orang. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah total sampling dengan jumlah 40 responden. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa pengetahuan responden terbanyak adalah baik yaitu sebanyak 72,5%. Resiko dekubitus pada responden adalah resiko rendah yaitu sebanyak 45,0%. Ada hubungan antara pengetahuan keluarga tentang dekubitus dengan resiko dekubitus dengan nilai p value 0,002. Oleh karena itu disarankan kepada masyarakat sebaiknya mengetahui dan memahami secara benar tentang dekubitus agar mengetahui cara perawatan dan pencegahan dekubitus untuk memberikan perawatan dengan baik pada keluarga yang beresiko dekubitus.
