Microdialysis has wide applicability for in vivo measurements
Microdialysis enables in vivo measurement of tissue chemistry and is
feasible in virtually every human organ. According to Müller (p 588)
it is currently being used to monitor brain ischaemia and metabolic
control. This technique is also about to become a standard tool in drug
monitoring and development. In the future, miniaturisation and online
automisation of chemical assays will allow "bedside" microdialysis
for assessing antibiotic penetration for infected organs and monitoring
tissue metabolism in disease states.
