POSTNATAL CHANGES IN SKIN VASCULAR TONE RECORDED BY TRANSCUTANEOUS PO2 ELECTRODE AT 37°C

Transcutaneous and capillary pCO2 and pO2 measurements in healthy adults.

Transcutaneous carbon dioxide and oxygen tensions (tc-pCO2 and tc-pO2) were measured in seven healthy adult volunteers during hyperventilation in atmospheric air and during CO2 inhalation. Three skin sensors were applied to each subject: an O2 electrode, a CO2 electrode, and a combined O2-CO2 electrode, each heated to 44 degrees C. We observed close correlation between tc-pCO2 and capillary-pCO...

Reliability of transcutaneous monitoring of arterial PO2 in newborn infants.

Performance of transcutaneous PO2 and PCO2 dual electrodes in adults.

Three commercially-available combined PO2-PCO2 electrodes were assessed in vitro, and in adults breathing air, hypoxic and hypercapnic mixtures, for speed of response, correlation with end-tidal gas tensions and drift. Differences in the 90% response time of the individual electrodes were more marked in vitro than in vivo. Changes in end-tidal gas tensions were reflected by proportionate change...

Dynamic Impedance Model of the Skin-Electrode Interface for Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation can depolarize nerve or muscle cells applying impulses through electrodes attached on the skin. For these applications, the electrode-skin impedance is an important factor which influences effectiveness. Various models describe the interface using constant or current-depending resistive-capacitive equivalent circuit. Here, we develop a dynamic impedance mod...
