Abstract
A miniaturised glass pH probe that makes possible the continuous measurement of subcutaneous tissue pH is described. This instrument has been evaluated as a monitor of blood flow in experimental skin flaps. A rapid fall in tissue pH in response to either arterial or venous occlusion was observed. The results suggest that this technique may be a useful method of monitoring microvascular free flaps.
