Evaluation of a Heparin-Coated PO2 Electrode for Continuous Intravasal PO2 Monitoring
Intensive care units always require continuous PaO2 monitoring to enable fast and proper ventilator adjustment to patients need. Conventional bloodsampling techniques followed by bloodgas analysis are not able to...

On-Line Estimation of Cerebral Oxygenation
Kwan and Fatt [6] have pointed out that the palpebral conjunctiva is a particularly suitable position in which oxygen tension (PO2) may be sensed. This structure, which assists in the oxygenation of the cornea wh...

Disposable Solid State Oxygen Sensor
Since the description of the membrane-covered polarographic cell by Clark in 1956, oxygen polarography has been refined such that almost every physiological problem of O2 measurement can now be solved with great ...

Epidural Measurement of Intracranial Pressure
Thanks to JANNY (5) and LUNDBERG (7) intraventricular pressure (IVP) can be measured continuously, but routine clinical use of IVP is hampered by the risk of infection, difficulties in puncturing the ventricle...

Extradural transducer for monitoring intracranial pressure
In this paper we describe an epidural pressure-transducer which has been tested in over 200 patients. No complications were observed. The transducer has a very low drift and has virtually no temperature sensit...
