Abstract
We monitored the pH of ischemic intestine in rats to determine whether such measurements were a useful method of postoperative monitoring. Measurement of intestinal pH was found to be useful in detecting vascular occlusion, in distinguishing arterial from venous occlusion, and in estimating the time of occlusion. This method of monitoring can be recommended after free intestinal grafting.
