Figure 3 Tonometer balloon placed in the stomach nasogastrically. CO₂ diffuses rapidly over different membranes, therefore the tonometer PCO₂ (PtCO₂) will be in equilibrium with gastric luminal PCO₂ (PgCO₂) and mucosal PCO₂ (PmCO₂). The PCO₂ can be measured from the catheter either from injected saline using blood gas analyzers or by connection to a semi-automated Tonocap device. The underlying physiological principle is that ischemia is always associated with PCO₂ increase. Therefore, focal measurement of ischemia is possible for long periods via a minimally invasive technique.
