The holy grail of circulatory monitoring is an accurate, continuous and relatively noninvasive means of assessing the adequacy of organ perfusion. This could be then advantageously used to direct therapeutic interventions to prevent both under-treatment and over-treatment and thus improve outcomes. However, in view of the heterogeneous response (adaptive or maladaptive) of different organs to various shock states, any monitor of perfusion adequacy cannot reflect every organ system, but should at least detect early deterioration in a 'canary' organ. Tissue oxygen tension reflects the balance between local oxygen supply and demand, and could thus be a potentially useful monitoring modality. This article examines the different technologies available and reviews the current literature regarding its utility as a monitor.
