Intraoperative assessment of blood flow to strangulated stomach by pulse oximetry
1Department of Anesthesiology, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.
Abstract:
A pulse oximeter was used to detect safe margins for resection of a strangulated stomach. The sensor probe was placed intraoperatively on various portions of the stomach, which herniated through a left lateral diaphragmatic defect. Failure to detect blood flow by this device in equivocally compromised tissue helped in the assessment of safe viable margins for resection.
