Popis: A new mode of continuous O2 surveillance (pulse oximetry) is rapidly gaining popularity over traditional transcutaneous PO2 monitoring in this country. Both techniques continuously and transcutaneously monitor oxygenation status - one monitors 02 saturation while the other O2 tension: we compared the two techniques (TcSO2 by Nellcor pulse oximeter and TcPO2 by the Litton oxymonitor) in terms of (1) preparation time, (2) response to changes in physiological conditions and, (3) continuity of monitoring in 26 patients .Results: (1) TcSO2 monitor took an average time of 25.8±8.1 sec but TcPO2 monitor required 10.3±2.3 minutes of preparation and calibration time. (2) Initial response time to physical disturbances ( heel prick or ET suction) was slower in TcPO2 compared with TcSO2 (1.07±0.82 min vs 0.69±.50 min, p
