ABSTRACT:
A dual lumen CO.sub.2 catheter is formed of medical grade dual lumen silicone rubber tubing which has been impregnated with tridodecyl amine. The silicone tubing is gas permeable, and an external reference electrode is used to monitor the potential across the impregnated outer wall of the dual lumen tubing as a function of pH. The analyte to be monitored is selected from the group consisting of CO.sub.2, NH.sub.3, SO.sub.2, NO.sub.2, H.sub.2 S, and HCN, the internal reference and electrolyte solutions contained in the lumens being selected in response to the particular analyte desired to be monitored. In a CO.sub.2 embodiment, the reference lumen is filled with a buffered internal reference solution, and the response lumen is filled with a bicarbonate filling solution. Reference wires formed of Ag/AgCl in respective ones of the lumens forms the internal electrodes.
