Abstract
A case report is presented describing the clinical usefulness of transcutaneous oxygen (PtcO2) monitoring in an infant undergoing tracheoesophageal fistula repair. Its use allowed early and precise recognition of hypoxaemia during periods of surgical manipulation. During periods of hypoxaemia, there were no associated cardiovascular changes or changes in routine monitoring modalities. Clinical use of PtcO2 may detect early hypoxaemia and thus allow for correction before the appearance of changes in vital signs.Entities:
