An experimental study using a new fiberoptic sensor for the continuous intraarterial measurement of oxygen tension is described. This "optode" sensor uses the phenomenon of fluorescence quenching to determine the oxygen tension of the surrounding medium. To assess the accuracy of this device, we anesthetized 4 dogs and monitored them continuously with arterial catheters and an intraarterial optode probe, and intermittently with arterial blood gas analysis. The inspired oxygen fraction was varied from 1.0 to 0.1, and arterial blood gases were measured for comparison with the optode reading. Two hundred ninety data sets yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96, with a linear regression slope of 0.98 and intercept of 5.1 mm Hg. In the 72 data sets from the last dog, the bias and precision of the optode arterial oxygen tension values were -10.3 mm Hg and 20.0 mm Hg, respectively. The optode probe was easily inserted through a 20-gauge catheter and did not interfere with continuous arterial pressure measurement or blood sampling. This study suggests that the optode has great potential as a continuous, real-time monitor of arterial oxygen tension.
