The measurement and control of myocardial infarct size.

Direct, chemical, electrocardiographic and radio-isotopic methods are described for the estimation of myocardial infarct size in animals and man. Their relative points and failings are discussed. The effects of interventions, physical, metabolic and pharmacological, upon the size of myocardial infarcts, are examined and work attempting to reduce myocardial infarct size in man reviewed.

The use of transcutaneous oxygen electrodes in intensive therapy.

The use of transcutaneous monitoring of the PO2 in patients in an adult intensive therapy unit has been found to be a simple and reliable procedure. The electrodes were heated to 44 degrees C in order to obtain a near maximal response. In individual patients, the transcutaneous reading may be up to 20 per cent different from the arterial value. However, the difference is reproducible for a given patient and does not detract from the value of the technique in following trends. The ease of use of the non-invasive transcutaneous technique has brought to light numerous instances of marked fluctuations occurring in patients oxygen tensions.
