How can you use “tonometry” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The low pH of stomach may interfere with tonometry, and therefore gastric acid suppression may be needed for reliable measurements [ 20].
• Esophageal capnometry could be used as an alternative for gastric tonometry during the management of hypovolemic shock
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].
• Incremental increase in PEEP to identify the optimal value does not affect splanchnic perfusion as assessed by gastric tonometry
We suggest that esophageal capnometry could be used as an alternative to gastric tonometry for assessing splanchnic hypoperfusion.
