J Neurotrauma 1998; 15:509-519. This study demonstrates the sensitivity of different microdialysis measurements to tissue hypoxia. Provides an interesting evaluation that suggests that potassium concentration, the lactate/glucose index and glucose concentrations may be used to confirm and extend the analysis of tissue gases.
