Abstract
Tissue oxygen tension is the partial pressure of oxygen within the interstitial space of an organ bed. As it represents the balance between local oxygen delivery and consumption at any given time, it offers a ready monitoring capability to assess the adequacy of tissue perfusion relative to local demands. This review covers the various methodologies used to measure tissue oxygen tension, describes the underlying physiological and pathophysiological principles, and summarizes human and laboratory data published to date.
