Overview

Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measurements can provide data on the perfusion of the involved limb, although its accuracy is not totally accepted in presence of severe ischemia and edema. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) that measures less than 30 mmHg represents the necessity of a complete treatment, due to very low chance of a spontaneous wound healing. On the other hand, measures more than 40 mmHg predict an acceptable chance of a spontaneous wound healing.
