Tonometry of partial carbon dioxide tension in gastric mucosa: use of saline, buffer solutions, gastric juice or air

نویسنده

  • AB Johan Groeneveld
چکیده

Tonometry of gastric mucosal partial carbon dioxide tension (PCO2) has been forwarded as a clinically applicable tool to monitor regional perfusion adequacy during circulatory failure. The technique is still not used widely, partly because of methodological problems. Current measurement principles are reviewed, with help of the report on PCO2 measurements in gastric juice and tonometer in this issue.

Lack of agreement between tonometric and gastric juice partial carbon dioxide tension

STATEMENT OF FINDINGS: Our goal was to compare measurement of tonometered saline and gastric juice partial carbon dioxide tension (PCO2). In this prospective observational study, 112 pairs of measurements were simultaneously obtained under various hemodynamic conditions, in 15 critical care patients. Linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the two methods of measurin...

Automated detection of gastric luminal partial pressure of carbon dioxide during cardiovascular surgery using the Tonocap.

BACKGROUND A new automated system of air tonometry (Tonocap; Datex Ohmeda, Helsinki, Finland) allows for frequent (every 15 min) measurement of gastric luminal partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Its use has not been described in cardiac surgical patients. METHODS One hundred patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft or cardiac valve surgery were enrolled in a prospective cohort study....

Gastric tonometry: in vivo comparison of saline and air tonometry in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Measurement of gastric intramucosal pH (pHi) has been advocated to assess gastric perfusion. Regional PCO2 (rPCO2) values are measured using saline tonometry (rsPCO2) and more recently using air tonometry (raPCO2). We compared 237 measurements of saline and air tonometry in 19 consecutive, severely ill patients (mean age 59 (range 31-76) yr, 19 males, APACHE II 22 +/- 7) with cardiogenic shock....

The effects of hypervolemic infusion on microcirculation perfusion of patients during laparoscopic colorectal surgery

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of hypervolemic infusion with different solutions on microcirculation perfusion during laparoscopic colorectal surgery.Thirty-six patients were randomly divided into Ringer lactate solution [RL] group, succinylated gelatin injection [Gel] group, and hypertonic saline hydroxyethyl starch 40 injection [HS] group. Hypervolemic infusion was performed d...

Correlation of the End-Tidal PCO2 during Laparoscopic Surgery with the pH of the Gastric Juice

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES During laparoscopy, the increase of the carbon dioxide tension may increase the synthesis of hydrochloric acid in the parietal cells of the stomach; the source of the secreted hydrogen ions is carbonic acid derived from the hydration of carbon dioxide. The present report tests this hypothesis by correlating the changes of end-tidal PCO2 (ETCO2) with the pH of the gastr...
