Pulse Oximetry and Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension for Detection of Hypoxemia in Critically Ill Infants and Children

  • Chapter
Continuous Transcutaneous Monitoring

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((ABBI,volume 7))

Abstract

Transcutaneous PO2 electrodes are now widely used for monitoring oxygenation1–3. Within the last years pulse oximetry (tcSaO2) has also become available and several studies have demonstrated its reliability between 70 and 100% saturation4–8.
