Abstract
Monitoring of critical blood parameters is essential for the management of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) treatments. In this paper, we present a low-cost, disposable fluorescent pCO₂ sensor that enables real-time monitoring of pCO₂ levels. The sensor features a disposable sensitive membrane that is interrogated by a non-disposable optical head without direct blood contact.
