Abstract

The non-invasive measurements of pO2 (transcutaneous oxygen) has been shown to be different from arterial pO2 due to dependence upon various factors in the skin.1 Recently a mathematical mode2 has been confirmed in adult ICU patients.3 By means of this model, describing the relation between arterial- and skin pO2, other oxygen parameters of the blood can be calculated from skin pO2 (pO2 (S)) measurements and thereby the oxygen status of the blood may be evaluated by three parameters, i.e. the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen (sO2) and the concentration of total oxygen (ctO2) all obtained non-invasively.
