Abstract: Tonometry of gastric mucosal partial carbon dioxide tension (PCO2) has been forwarded as a clinically applicable tool to monitor regional perfusion adequacy during circulatory failure. The technique is still not used widely, partly because of methodological problems. Current measurement principles are reviewed, with help of the report on PCO2 measurements in gastric juice and tonometer in this issue.

“…While the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock is well recognized and it is accepted that the data provided by mucosal CO 2 have unquestionable validity as a reflection of the severity of the shock, the search for new noninvasive and easy to perform monitoring strategies is constant in this field [ 19 ]. This is currently raising more expectation of the probing on the most proximal segments of gastrointestinal tract, especially the sublingual capnography [ 20 ].…”

“…6. Hepatosplanchnic-related perfusion parameters: a) gastric tonometry calculating the gastric-to-arterial pCO 2 gradient (pCO 2 gap) with a upper normal limit of 8 mmHg (Tonocap, Datex-Ohmeda Division, Helsinki, Finland) [ 22 ]; and b) plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green (ICG-PDR) as a dynamic test for the assessment of liver function and global hepatosplanchnic blood flow [ 23 ]. The ICG-PDR was assessed with a noninvasive liver function monitoring system (LiMon, Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany).…”
