TCOMs as a screening tool for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Abstract: Transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2), often referred to as TCOM, is a noninvasive measurement of oxygen tension in the tissue via a heated electrode. TCOMs can be used prior to beginning hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to determine if the patient has adequate...

[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in trauma surgery].

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is achieved when a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen in an environment of elevated atmospheric pressure. Physiologically, this produces a directly proportional increase in the plasma volume fraction of transported oxygen which is...
