Abstract

We aimed at estimating the agreement between the Medicap" (photo-optical) and Radiometer• (electrochemical) sensors during exercise transcutaneous oxygen pressure ( tcp02) tests. Our hypothesis was that although absolute starting values (tcp02rest: mean over 2 minutes) might)e different, tcpOTchanges over time and the minimal value of the decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROPmin) results at exercise shall be concordant between the two systems. taneously, one of each system on the chest, on each buttock and on each calf. Seventeen Medicap" probes disconnected during the tests. tcp02rest and DROPmin values were higher with Medicap• than with Radiometer•, by 13.7 ± 17.1mmHg and 3.4 ± 11.7 mmHg, respectively. Despite the differences in absolute starting values, changes over time were similar between the two systems. The concordance between the two systems was approximately 70% for classification of test results from DROPmin. Photo-optical sensors are promising alternatives to electro-chemical sensors for exercise oximetry, provided that miniaturization and weight reduction of the new sensors are possible. Forty seven patients with arterial claudication ( 65 ± 7 years) performed a treadmill test with 5 probes each of the elect...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
