The only commercially available continuous intravascular blood gas monitoring system for adults, the Paratrend (Diametrics Medical Inc, High Wycombe, UK), was modified by the manufacturer to the Paratrend 7+ (PT7+) in 1999. The aim of this study was to evaluate the modified probe over a wide range of blood gas and pH values during thoracoscopic surgery in a similar setup as done with the previous model.
