Figures & data
Figure 1. “Toccare” is a noninvasive device for evaluating blood flow that utilizes near-infrared spectroscopy to measure tissue oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin index with the sensor probe.
Figure 2. A: Point pre 0, pre 1, pre 2, and pre 3 are shown at the tip, 2 cm to the anal side, 4 cm to the anal side, and 6 cm to the anal side of the tip, respectively, are shown. B: The rSO2 was measured with a “toccare” wrapped in a sterilized plastic bag.
Figure 3. The gastric tube is shown after raising it to the cervical site through the post sternal route. Point post 0, post 1, and post 2 are shown at the tip, 2 cm to the anal side, and 4 cm to the anal side of the tip, respectively, are shown.
