<Prior Art> Knowing the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is extremely important in clinical tests for determining the quality of the respiratory and metabolic functions of a living body and the approximate value of pH f 4 degrees in the blood. Conventionally, the main method used to measure the concentration (or partial pressure) of carbon dioxide in blood is to draw blood, especially blood from the arteries, and directly measure it, but this method requires continuous measurement over time. The problem was that it was impossible and caused pain to the patient. Particularly in the case of premature infants and newborns, blood sampling is highly invasive, making implementation extremely difficult.

Unlike the above-mentioned direct method, the transcutaneous electrode method captures carbon dioxide gas diffused from blood through tissues on the skin surface, and can continuously measure it over time without causing pain to the patient.

Traditionally, transcutaneous blood carbon dioxide? ? The f-pole allows carbon dioxide that diffuses from the skin to be dissolved in an electrolytic solution whose pH changes depending on the partial pressure of carbon dioxide through a carbon dioxide permeable thin film.
The change in pH is detected and measured as a potential difference between a glass electrode and an external comparison electrode. To further comment, as shown in FIG. 2 showing its cross-sectional structure, the transcutaneous blood carbon dioxide electrode has a buffer solution 3 and It has a structure in which the potential difference between a glass electrode 8i5 enclosing an internal electrode 4 and an external comparison electrode 6 made of a silver/silver chloride electrode or the like is read by a lead wire 7. Here, the electrolytic solution E in which the glass electrode 5 and the external comparison type Vi6 were immersed contained a mixture of water and ethylene glycol as a solvent, and a chloride salt and a bicarbonate as an electrolyte.

Therefore, if a transdermal blood carbon dioxide measurement electrode using an electrolyte with a conventional composition is used for 2 to 3 weeks, the solvent (water, ethylene glycol) in the electrolyte will evaporate, making measurement impossible. This had the disadvantage that the electrolyte solution had to be replaced.

<Means for Solving the Problems> As a result of various studies to achieve the stated purpose, the present inventor has developed an electrolytic solution in which an electrolyte is dissolved in a liquid polymer that hardly evaporates. It was discovered that the electrolyte solution can maintain performance equivalent to conventionally used electrolyte solutions over a long period of time. The structure of the present invention based on this knowledge is such that an electrolyte consisting of chloride and bicarbonate has an evaporation rate of 40°C at normal pressure and 45°C.
It is characterized by being dissolved in a liquid polymer of less than nl/cm-day.

The liquid polymer used in the present invention may be in a liquid state as long as it can dissolve the electrolyte consisting of chloride salt and bicarbonate at the required rA, and the evaporation rate (normal pressure, 45°C) is 4O
For example, when the surface area of the electrolyte chamber is about 0.126 cm, the electrolyte is less than 5 nl/cm-day.
This is because the number of days required for the change from 4 to 44 is 200 days or more, and the lifespan is 10 times longer than that of conventional products.
