Abstract

Background: Oxygen-dependent quenching of luminescence using transparent planar sensor foils was shown to overcome the limitations of the polarographic electrode technique in an animal model. This method was then transferred to a clinical setting to measure the transcutaneous pO(2) (p(tc)O(2)). Methods: In six healthy subjects, a cuff on the upper arm was occluded up to 20 mmHg above systolic ...
