Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension Measurements in Newborn Infants

Gosta Rooth M.D.1

1 Perinatal Research Unit, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden

Attention is called in this brief review article to the development and clinical uses of a new technique for monitoring blood oxygen tensions in newborn infants. This technique uses an electrode recently developed by Huch et al. in Germany to measure arterial oxygen tensions directly through the skin. This device allows for continuous monitoring with a non-invasive technique. The method is now in use in European hospitals. Clinical experiences are cited to document its usefulness.
