Carbon dioxide kinetics and capnography during critical care
نویسندگان
چکیده
Greater understanding of the pathophysiology of carbon dioxide kinetics during steady and nonsteady state should improve, we believe, clinical care during intensive care treatment. Capnography and the measurement of end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO2) will gradually be augmented by relatively new measurement methodology, including the volume of carbon dioxide exhaled per breath (VCO2,br) and average alveolar expired PCO2. Future directions include the study of oxygen kinetics.

Ventilation monitoring during monitored anesthesia care: a review.
The use of capnography during general anesthesia has become not only state of the art but also a recommended standard of care. In intubated patients, measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in exhaled pulmonary gases approximate partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood under stable conditions. End-tidal carbon dioxide measurement has allowed anesthetists to continuously f...
متن کاملCapnography during cardiac resuscitation: a clue on mechanisms and a guide to interventions
Measurement of the end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO2) during cardiac arrest has been shown to reflect the blood flow being generated by external means and to prognosticate outcome. In the present issue of Critical Care, Grmec and colleagues compared the initial and subsequent PETCO2 in patients who had cardiac arrest precipitated by either asphyxia or ventricular arrhythmia. ...

Capnography has been studied for decades as a potential diagnostic tool for suspected pulmonary embolism. Despite technological refinements and its combination with other non-invasive instruments, no evidence to date allows recommending the use of expired carbon dioxide measurement as a rule-out test for pulmonary embolism without additional radiological testing. Further investigations are, how...

Background. Transcutaneous measurement of carbon dioxide (TcCO2) provides a non-invasive estimation of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2). Nasal capnography (PE 0 CO2 ) is used to assess ventilation during monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) with sedation since it can readily detect apnoea. We compared the agreement between TcCO2 and PE 0 CO2 with PaCO2 and the ability to detect hypercarbia in patien...
