Abstract

The intravascular PO2 sensor described in this paper essentialal routine use. The small dimensions of the sensor permit its introduction into the vessel through a conventional guiding catheter size 4 F or larger. With 5 F catheters, simultaneous blood sampling and/or blood pressure measurement is possible. The accuracy and stability of the sensor permit continuous PO2 measurement to be performed over several days.
