How can you use “intramucosal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Experimental evaluation of a fiberoptic P CO 2 sensor, similar to that used in the present study, has shown a high degree of precision in detecting short-term changes in intramucosal P CO 2 [ 35].
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].
Knichwitz and coworkers [ 25] demonstrated that continuous intramucosal P CO 2 measurement allows early detection of regional intestinal ischemia before the onset of changes in global hemodynamic or metabolic variables.
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].
Because gastric intubation is done in most critically ill patients, gastric tonometry has traditionally been used to evaluate intramucosal pH or partial carbon dioxide tension (P CO 2 ) indirectly during the management of critically ill patients [ 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15].
