TCOM

TcPO2

PtcO2

All of the above

2 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

3 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
