| Popis: | Distal transcutaneous oxygen pressure measurement (TcPO2) is a noninvasive method of evaluating tissular hypoxemia in peripheral arterial disease. The poststress area of hypoxemia is a useful technique for globally quantifying different parameters represented by TcPO2 curves during exercise. Although its use is increasingly widespread, the reproducibility of this method is poorly documented. TcPO2 was monitored three times at twenty-four hour intervals in 5 patients with stage II obliterative arterial disease during a treadmill walking test. In order to get uniform measurement conditions, each patient remained lying and then stood until TcPO 2 became stable. The stress duration was calculated so that the pain step could not be reached. TcPO2 curves were digitized and a specific image analyzer was used to make replicate measurements. The area under the curve was computed, the horizontal axis determining the mean TcPO2 value at rest, the vertical axis representing the end of the exercise period. The corresponding areas under the curves ranged from 34 to 2212 mm2 (573.60; SD 826). Significant correlation coefficients were obtained among replicate measurements (first-second day, first-third day). However, owing to the wide range of area values, the authors decided to compute and use the coefficient of variation (STD/mean), since it was more representative of reproducibility. The mean of its value for 5 patients was 21%. Observation of the examination conditions resulted in several findings, especially the ability of certain patients to adapt their efforts to the exercise. These results indicate that TcPO2 poststress area measurements are reproducible, but the conditions of the exercise have to be rigorously defined and may still be improved. |
