Abstract
In this case we evaluated brain tissue pO(2), pCO(2) and pH during isc hemia and arterial oxygen desaturation (hypoxia). In both situations b rain pO(2) decreased. During ischemia, tissue pCO(2) increased while p H decreased; but both pCO(2) and pH were stable during hypoxia. These results suggest that brain tissue pO(2), pCO(2) and pH measures provid e information on tissue perfusion and oxygen availability during ische mia and hypoxia.
