How can you use “intramucosal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Traditionally, stomach has been used as the organ to measure intramucosal pH or P CO 2 in both animal and human studies [ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15].
The use of tissue P CO 2 and arterial P CO 2 (Pa CO 2 ) difference is a better marker of ischemia than is either gastric intra-mucosal pH or intramucosal P CO 2 [ 34] because the gap is not influenced by alveolar ventilation [ 35].
Porter and Ivatury [ 46] demonstrated that the use of base deficit, lactate, and/or gastric intramucosal pH are appropriate end-points of resuscitation for trauma patients.
Other limiting factors in gastric tonometry are related to feeding [ 22, 23] and the large lumen of the stomach, requiring longer time for intralu-minal contents to equilibrate with intramucosal P CO 2 . Moreover, in the presence of low gastric pH, secretion of bicarbonate leads to intraluminal production of carbon dioxide [ 39].
The above factors may prevent rapid detection of changes in intramucosal P CO 2 . Therefore, several other sites have been used for tonometry.
