Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will investigate if non-invasive continuous transcutaneous blood gas monitoring can detect tissue perfusion and hypoxemia and the relation to other circulatory parameters such as pulse, blood pressure, cardiac output and arterial saturation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Macro circulatory parameters such as cardiac output, mean arterial pressure and arterial oxygen saturation are used to monitor the hemodynamic function and tissue perfusion in surgical patients. Though none of the methods are directly monitoring changes in the metabolism of the tissue. Arterial blood gas analysis is used as the golden standard for the detection of metabolic disturbances before, during and after surgery. Disadvantages of the method are 1) the fact that the technique is invasive to the patient, 2) that the method measures the "total gas" (each tissue's contribution to the blood gas in the total circulating blood) and 3) that the methods only provide a snapshot of the patient's blood gas status. Transcutaneous monitoring can be used as a continuous monitoring of the underlying tissue's carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in patients. The method is already used in neonates as a surrogate for the arterial blood gas analysis. Reduced tissue oxygenation due to inadequate perfusion, will initiate an anaerobic tissue metabolism resulting in low oxygen levels and high carbon dioxide levels. The transcutaneous monitoring can therefore potentially be used to detect tissue hypoxia and become a direct measurement of the underlying tissue metabolism.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Abdominal

80 patients undergoing surgery for abdominal cancer. Data review for interim analysis will be conducted after the participation of 40 patients to evaluate the requirement for further enrollment.

Transcutaneous monitoring

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide by using Radiometer TCM5 flex monitor with 3 electrodes on the patient.

Abdominal patients are monitored for 4 hours during surgery and for 2 hours in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. Arterial blood gasses are drawn from the arterial line 4 times during surgery and 4 times after surgery.

Patients undergoing vascular surgery are monitored for up to 4 hours during surgery.

Vascular

20 patients undergoing femoral endarterectomy.
