<p>An apparatus for the determination and continuous monitoring of bladder epithelial oxygen (pb02) which comprises, in combination, an introductory catheter (1) with an inflatable placement cuff (4) and an oxygen sensor, wherein the sensor is completely accommodated within the catheter (1) when not in use and, when the apparatus is placed within a patient's bladder, the sensor is adapted to be deployed so that the distal end (7) of the sensor passes through an open port (3) in the distal wall of the catheter (1) and extends beyond the tip (2) of the catheter (1) to rest against the wall of the bladder; and a method for the continuous monitoring of pb02 using such apparatus.</p> |
