Transcutaneous PO2 poorly estimates arterial PO2 in adults during anesthesia
International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
We compared values of PaO2 and transcutaneous PO2 in 21 adult patients during anesthesia. In 282 simultaneous determinations during anesthetic periods of 3-10 h, transcutaneous PO2 was a poor predictor of absolute PaO2 and changes in PaO2. Transcutaneous PO2 monitoring in adults during anesthesia is of unproven value.
