Transcutaneous Monitoring Systems

Transcutaneous Monitoring Systems are medical devices that measure various body parameters, like oxygen levels or carbon dioxide, through the skin. They use sensors placed on the skin's surface to assess blood chemistry without needing blood samples. This method provides continuous, real-time data, making it valuable for monitoring patients in critical care or during anesthesia. The sensors typically employ heat or light to analyze substances beneath the skin, enabling doctors to make fast, accurate decisions about a patient's condition, reducing discomfort and invasive procedures.
