Carbon Dioxide Partial Pressure Determination, Transcutaneous
Conditions
Brief summary
Subjects that are currently on a transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitor (TCOM) to monitor the carbon dioxide level in their blood will be placed on an additional TCOM using a non-adhesive sensor application ring instead of the usual adhesive ring to hold the TCOM sensor in place in order to evaluate usability of the non-adhesive applicator.
