Transcutaneous oximetry is a noninvasive method to analyze the partial pressure of oxygen in tissue. In literature, it is frequently abbreviated as

TCOM

TcPO2

PtcO2

All of the above

Transcutaneous Oximetry (TCOM) allows the estimation of partial pressure of oxygen on the skin surface:

Utilizing an internally implanted medical device

By employing noninvasive heated electrodes

Through a cardiac monitor

Via pulse oximetry

Limitations of TCOM, rather than contraindications include:

Digits, as the electrodes and electrolyte rings are too wide

Plantar portions of the feet, due to thickened skin

Palmar surfaces of the hands, due to thickened skin

All of the Above
