Background: Continuous monitoring of pH, Pco2, and Po2 using fiberoptic sensor technology has been proposed recently as a clinical monitor of the severity of shock and impaired tissue perfusion.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring bladder mucosa (BM) and to compare urinary bladder mucosa and proximal jejunum mucosa interstitial pH and Pco2 during hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.
