TCPO
2 Monitoring is a diagnostic tool that gives physicians a prognostic indication of whether or not hyperbaric treatment can be effective. TCPO2 is a non-invasive measurement of dermal oxygen values using heated polargraphic electrodes. By monitoring the varying dermal oxygen tensions at different levels of a compromised extremity, the hyperbaric physician can determine if sufficient oxygen transport exists to support healing in the hyperbaric environment.
