To properly operate,the transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen electrode needs to be at what temperature range?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PtcO₂)electrode is heated to between 42° C to 45° C to produce capillary vasodilation below the surface of the electrode.This will improve diffusion of gases across the skin.If the PtcO₂ temperature is lower than this range,the results will not be reliable.A temperature higher than this range will produce skin burns.
