Summary
The transcutaneous determination of arterial pO2 is a well-known method in perinatal medicine. We have shown, that this method is also a reliable tool in exercise testing. By the use of continuous transcutaneous pO2-measurement it is possible to examine changes in the oxygen transport during work.
We also investigated the method of transcutaneous determination for arterial pCO2 during exercise and compared transcutaneous measurements with values from capillary blood samples. A good correlation between the determinations was found.
The use of transcutaneous measurement of blood gases is explained and the limitations are discussed in this paper. The influence parameters, local blood flow, diffusion resistance and skin metabolism are considered. This method should prove to be a helpful addition to exercise testing methods now in common use, because it allows continuous measurements of changes in blood gases during physical activity.
