[Control of intensive care through the measurement of microcirculation and 02 consumption].
The pO2-multiwire electrode measures the intercapillary oxygen tension. The pO2 histogram, which results from such measurements gives precise information about the question as to whether microcirculation is disturbed or not. Thus, pathological changes in respiration and volume can be recognized earlier than with classical methods. The latter registers the mainly central variables which are compensated for a longer period of time. The local pO2 measurement allows individual regulation of respiratory therapy and monitors the response of oxygen therapy. Using this method oxygen deficiency as well as overdosage of oxygen supply can be averted. Thus, important diagnostic and therapeutic indications can be identified.
