Abstract

The present study demonstrated the feasibility of monitoring nitric oxide (NO) and pO 2 levels under ischemic conditions associated with small bowel ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury through the use of selective electrodes for NO and oxygen molecules. NO levels gradually increased during ischemia. When reperfusion was started, the NO level decreased suddenly and returned to pre-ischemia values within 10 minutes. After clamping, pO 2 decreased rapidly. When reperfusion was started, pO 2 increased suddenly, returning to pre-ischemia values within 10 minutes. We concluded that it is feasible to monitor NO and pO 2 levels under ischemic conditions of small bowel I/R injury through the use of electrodes selective for NO and oxygen molecules.
