Popis: PtcO2 monitoring is a reliable technique of predicting change in PaO2 However there are many factors that should be taken into account to minimize sources of error. Such factors include skin properties, site of application, skin perfusion, blood pressure, anesthetic agents and electrode temperature. Despite these limitations PtcO2 continues to be a useful, non-invasive monitoring device in the intensive care unit.
