摘要
Gastrointestinal (GI) tonometry, the only clinically available method for the accurate diagnosis of compromised GI blood flow, has been shown to be a sensitive predictor of increased morbidity, mortality and prolonged hospitalization. The recent introduction of the Tonocap, as a means of performing automated air tonometry, has simplified the application of GI tonometry in the clinical setting. Despite this the utility of GI tonometry remains controversial. The GI Tonometry: State of the Art meeting brought together a group of clinicians with a proven track record of research, clinical interest and expertise in this field. The aim of the meeting was to come to a consensus regarding certain issues such as the past and future roles of GI tonometry and standards for its correct usage and interpretation. Finally suggestions as to further research and clinical evaluation were made within a broader discussion regarding the complexities of applying the principles of evidence-based medicine to the introduction of a new piece of medical technology.
