ABSTRACT:
A tonometry catheter apparatus comprises an elongate, flexible, multilumen tube having a proximal end to be positioned outside the human body and a distal end to be positioned within a portion of the human body. Provided at the distal end are an ingress lumen through which gas may enter the tube, and an egress lumen through which gas may exit the tube. A hollow connecting member links the ingress lumen and the egress lumen to define a sampling circuit through which the gas may continuously recirculate. In one embodiment, the distal end of the tube is provided with a distensible, gas-permeable vessel in communication with the ingress and egress lumens. In an alternative embodiment, an extracorporeal gas-permeable membrane links the sampling circuit to a separate, gas-containing analyzing circuit. In each embodiment, a pump is provided for propelling gas through the circuits, and a sensor continuously quantifies the level of gas within the circuits.
