Excerpt

The primary goal in the treatment of patients with shock is to restore the tissue perfusion and oxygenation. Clinical endpoints of resuscitation (i.e. bloodpressure, heart rate, urine output and oxygen saturation) give an incomplete or even misleading picture. Tissue oxygen tension (ptO2) reflecting tissue oxygenation may be a useful endpoint; however, in the clinical setting ptO2 measurements subcutaneously (ptO2sc) and in muscle (ptO2im) are both used, although a comparative study has never been performed. …
