title: Comparison of Clark electrode and optode for measurement of tissue oxygen tension.
abstract: Measurement of PsqO2 has proven clinically valuable. The optode is more stable and reliable than the Clark electrode, does not consume oxygen, measures temperature, and is relatively simple to use. The good correlation between values obtained by the Clark electrode and the optode in this study demonstrate that the optode may replace the Clark electrode without loss of prior data.
