Transcutaneous monitoring during high-frequency jet ventilation.
Simultaneous transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) and PCO2 (PtcCO2) recordings, done on a patient during high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in thoracic surgery, reflected exactly PaO2 and PaCO2 changes induced by surgical manipulation and by ventilator setting alterations. PtcO2 and PtcCO2 monitoring with a single sensor was valuable during HFJV for the early detection of acute changes in the efficacy of gas exchange and for the correction of the ventilator setting.
