چکیده
Transcutaneous capnography is a noninvasive method useful for analysis of the behavioral tendency of transcutaneous CO2 pressure (PtcCO2) in patients undergoing polysomnography, to evaluate respiratory sleep disorders. Objective: Determine normative PtcCO2 values in normal patients undergoing polysomnography. Method: One hundred seventy-nine patients who underwent polysomnography with simultaneous PtcCO2 measurement were assessed by means of a transcutaneous capnograph (TCM4 series from Radiomiter). Results: The group classified as normal (N=53) presented a apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) ,5 events/per hour of sleep and their age groups varied between 7 and 76 years of age. Conclusion: Global mean values of PtcCO2 in the normal group had a Gaussian distribution that varied between 33.1 and 50.0 mmHg (SD 4,363). Such findings allowed the establishment of normative PtcCO2 values for normal individuals.

Objective: To test a prediction model for sleep apnea based on clinical and sociodemographic variables in a population suspected of having sleep disorders and submitted to polysomnography. Methods: We included 323 consecutive patients submitted to polysomnography because of the clinical suspicion of having sleep disorders. We used a questionnaire with sociodemographic questions and the Epworth ...
متن کاملAvaliação da Correlação entre o Dióxido de Carbono Expirado e o Débito Cardíaco em Pacientes Submetidos à Cirurgia Cardíaca com Circulação Extracorpórea * Correlation between End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Levels and Cardiac Output during Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O CO2 expirado (PETCO2) reflete, além da ventilação pulmonar (eliminação), a produção de dióxido de carbono (metabolismo) e o fluxo sangüíneo pulmonar (circulação). Quando o metabolismo e a ventilação são constantes, o CO2 expirado reflete o fluxo sangüíneo pulmonar e, desta forma, o débito cardíaco (DC). Este estudo tem como objetivo a avaliação da correlação entre o...
متن کاملCan Transcutaneous CO2 Tension Be Used to Calculate Ventilatory Dead Space? A Pilot Study
Dead space fraction (V d/V t) measurement performed using volumetric capnography requires arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling to estimate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). In recent years, transcutaneous capnography (PtcCO2) has emerged as a noninvasive method of estimating PaCO2. We hypothesized that PtcCO2 can be used as a substitute for PaCO2 in the calculation of V d/V t. In thi...
