Abstract

The reason that transcutaneous PO2 electrodes (TcPO2) are more frequently used during clinical normobaric conditions to assess tissue oxygenation is because the method is non-invasive and relatively simple. Also in hyperbaric medicine TcPO2 measurements are more frequently used e.g. to predict the final outcome of woundhealing enhancement 10,16 or to adjust the administered oxygen in order to keep the TcPO2 values within or above certain limits 21. During normobaric conditions TcPO2 values are age related according to the linear regression line TcPO2 = 96.6 — 0.47 × age (in years)4. However, it has been reported that TcPO2 values during normobaric conditions may differ 4 or not17 between age groups. Variations and differences between the measurement site, shoulder 20, forearm 7, anterior chest6 has also been investigated. During normobaric conditions only TcPO2 values at the forehead, cheek, medial site of the leg and the scapular region are sites differing from other sites of the body17.
