A) Galvanic
B) Polarographic
C) Paramagnetic
D) Stow-Severinghaus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A heated Clark or polarographic electrode is used to monitor the transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen.The Stow-Severinghaus electrode is used in the measurement of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (CO₂)partial pressure.Polarographic and Galvanic electrodes are types of oxygen analyzers that use chemical reactions to measure oxygen concentrations in gas mixtures.
