Transcutaneous PCO2 Measurement at Low Temperature for Reliable and Continuous Free Flap Monitoring: Experimental and Clinical Study
Background: Measurement of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (TcPCO2) has been used for free flap monitoring. Because these values are obtained with sensor probes heated to 44°C, there is potential for low-temperature burns on skin flaps. We measured T...
