Abstract:
The tissue PO2 level in the skin of rats injected with fluorocarbon (FC-43) was measured by the microelectrode method and by a transcutaneous monitor. It was found that the tissue PO2 in the animals injected with FC-43 was two to three times higher than that of the control group. Neither the administration of FC-43 nor the inhalation of systemic oxygen improved flap survival in the rats.
