| pubmed-article:919672 | pubmed:abstractText | Transcutaneous oxygen blood tension (tcpO2), heart rate, respiratory amplitude, respiratory rate, and relative local perfusion have been monitored continuously during heart catheterization in 37 children with congenital heart disease. The tcpO2 method allows an adequate measurement of the severity and duration of hypoxemia following arrhythmias or injection of contrast medium. The extent of hyperoxia following diagnostic procedures can also be controlled by this method. | lld:pubmed |
