Transcutaneous PO2 as a trend indicator of arterial PO2 in normal anesthesized adults. 1982

T D Rafferty, and O Marrero, and D Nardi, and E N Schachter, and R Mentelos, and Y F Ngeow

The transcutaneous technique of measuring PO2 (tcPO2) was studied in 30 adults with normal cardiovascular function undergoing nitrous oxide-enflurane or nitrous oxide-fentanyl anesthesia to determine the relationship between tcPO2 and PaO2. The tcPO2 was an accurate and clinically useful trend indicator of PaO2 (r = 0.9; p less than 0.0001). The ability to detect trends was unaffected by the type of anesthetic agent used. The technique was less useful in predicting absolute values for PaO2 (r = 0.86). It is suggested that more widespread application of such monitoring awaits definitive development of a halothane-resistant electrode.

D009609 Nitrous Oxide Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.

D005283 Fentanyl A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance.
