Measurement of transcutaneous oxygen pressure in normal and ischaemic skin.
The transcutaneous oxygen pressure (tcPO2) was measured by a polarographic technique in the legs of 161 volunteers and compared with the levels found in 62 patients with ischaemic skin due to peripheral vascular disease. The results show that the tcPO2 was related to the degree of ischaemia and, in many cases, was a more accurate guide to the viability of the skin than clinical assessment. Meas...
متن کاملPerformance of a radiometer transcutaneous oxygen monitor in a neonatal-intensive-care unit.
We evaluated the performance of the Radiometer TCM-1 Transcutaneous Oxygen Monitor in a Class III neonatal-intensive-care unit during an 11-month clinical trial (in excess of 4000 h) in which we monitored 115 infants ranging in gestational age from 25 to 43 weeks and in birthweight from 595 to 4220 g. In vitro transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (ptcO2) measurements were accurate within 1...
متن کاملUnderestimation of arterial oxygen tension by transcutaneous electrode with increasing age in infants.
To investigate the effect of increasing gestational and postnatal age on the relation between transcutaneous oxygen tension (tcPO2) and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) 160 simultaneous measurements of tcPO2 and PaO2 tensions were made on 42 infants born at 24-41 weeks' gestation and aged 0-32 weeks from birth. Irrespective of gestational age a progressive fall in the tcPO2:PaO2 ratio with increa...
متن کاملEstimation of arterial oxygen tension in adult subjects using a transcutaneous electrode.
Transcutaneous oxygen tension (tcPO2) measured with a heated electrode was compared with arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) in three groups of adult patients-group A: 20 patients with chronic respiratory disease; group B: eight hypothermic patents studied immediately after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; and group C: 14 patients in an intensive care unit who had in all 35 comparisons of tcPO2 and P...
متن کاملFactors to consider when using hair as a cocaine-exposure measure for mothers or newborns.
Pregnant women who are identified as occasional users of illegal drugs such as cocaine often are lumped together with seriously dependent women into an undifferentiated category of “maternal drug abuser.” This occurs even though the teratologic consequences of cocaine use appear to follow the same general pattern found for legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. That is, the nature and degree ...
