Oxygen Pressure Measurements on Moving Organ Surfaces by Fluorescence Sensor Membranes Using Contactless Signal Transmission Via Fluorescence Sensor Radiation

  • Chapter
Oxygen Transport to Tissue VIII

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 200))

Abstract

Polarographic oxygen measurements on moving organ surfaces can disturb free blood circulation due to the weight of the sensor directly coupled to the organ. It has been proposed to compensate the weight of the sensor, e.g. by a balancing mechanism, but such a compensation does not work any more with movements in the range of higher frequency, e.g. on the beating guinea-pig heart with a frequency of 4–5 Hz.
