Transcutaneous Oxygen Monitoring during Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy

A transcutaneous oxygen sensor was used to detect the development of hypoxemia in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Measurements of transcutaneous Po2 (tcPo2) correlated well with arterial Po2 (PaO2), and correctly detected all instances when PaO2 was less than 65 mm Hg. The sensor was no...

Zusammenfassung:	A transcutaneous oxygen sensor was used to detect the development of hypoxemia in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Measurements of transcutaneous Po2 (tcPo2) correlated well with arterial Po2 (PaO2), and correctly detected all instances when PaO2 was less than 65 mm Hg. The sensor was noninvasive and caused no adverse effects.
