Simultaneous transcutaneous oxygen tension and tissue pH monitoring in sick neonates

D Vidyasagar et al. Birth Defects Orig Artic Ser. 1979.

Abstract

Our studies show that simultaneous tcPO2 and tpH monitoring is feasible and they indicate a highly significant degree of correlation between arterial PO2 and tcPO2 on the one hand and arterial pH and tpH on the other. We also conclude that tissue pH as measured with tpH electrode is a close approximation of arterial pH in sick neonates.
