Overview
Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measurement can provide data on how is the perfusion of the involved limb, although it's accuracy is not totally accepted in presence of severe ischemia and edema. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measures less than 30 mmHg represent the necessity of a complete treatment, due to very low chance of a spontaneous wound healing. On the other hand measures more than 40 mmHg predict an acceptable chance of a spontaneous wound healing.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure Measurement
- Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measurement can provide data on how is the perfusion of the involved limb, although it's accuracy is not totally accepted in presence of severe ischemia and edema.[1][2][3]
- Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measures less than 30 mmHg represent the necessity of a complete treatment, due to very low chance of a spontaneous wound healing.
- Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measures higher than 40 mmHg is indicative of a spontaneous wound healing and conservative treatment is recommended solely, due to high rate of spontaneous wound healing in these patients (more than 90%).
