Abstract
Gastric intramucosal PCO.sub.2 (Pico2) is a marker of splanchnic dysoxia and hypoperfusion that is increasingly used in intensive care medicine. We assessed two methods, saline-balloon tonometry versus continuous capnometric recirculating gas tonometry (CRGT), for detecting changes in Pico.sub.2 in animals subjected to various degrees of hemorrhage and examined whether changes in Pico.sub.2 would correlate with the degree of hemorrhage as assessed by blood loss volume.
