A modified oxygen gauge for the rapid measurement of Po2 in respiratory gases.

Abstract
A modified, commercially available gas-phase oxygen sensor is described which has a response time of .05 sec. (10-90%) making it fast enough for single-breath analysis of respiration. It is based on a small tubular solid electrochemical cell, held at a high temperature, which generates an electromotive force proportional to the logarithm of the ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen in gas pulled through it, to room air. It is stable, reliable, and suitable for long-term studies.
