Standardization and Validation of Non-invasive Monitoring of End Tidal Carbon Dioxide in Neonates via Nasal Cannula: An Observational Study
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a by-product of cellular metabolism, which could be considered as a reflection of metabolism, circulation, and ventilation. Arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) is the gold standard of monitoring for CO2. However, is an expensive method leading to blood loss and iatrogenic anemia. In addition, each sample is only a snapshot view of the sampling moment. End-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) measurement gives a non-invasive and continuous monitoring of exhaled CO2. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the non-invasive CO2 measurement performed by nasal cannula and evaluate the correlation with partial pressure of arterial CO2 (PaCO2 ) in neonates. Methods: This single-center observational study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, India. PaCO2 was reported on routine ABG within a 15-minute interval of ABG sampling. Moreover, partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) was noted at continuous 30-sec intervals (i.e., 30, 60, 90, ..., 180) up to 3 minutes. The values of PaCO2 and PetCO2 were found to be correlated with Pearson correlation and were shown by scattered plot. Regression analysis was used to get the prediction equation and the variance. Results: A total of 70 samples were taken in the initial phase to study the correlation between PaCO2 and measured PetCO2. Pearson correlation showed a moderate positive correlation (r= 0.589) between PetCO2 and measured PaCO2. Regression analysis demonstrated a variance of 33.8% between the measured PetCO2 and PaCO2, which was statistically significant (P<0.001). A prediction equation was obtained for PaCO2. In the final phase, 20 samples were recruited to standardize and validate the prediction equation. The PaCO2 was calculated using the predicted equation and a new prediction equation was obtained. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, there is a good correlation (r=0.681) between the non-invasively measured PetCO2 and PaCO2.

End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurements in Unintentional Non-Fire-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of measurements of end tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) during neonatal transport compared with arterial and transcutaneous measurements. DESIGN Paired end tidal and transcutaneous CO2 recordings were taken frequently during road transport of 21 ventilated neonates. The first paired CO2 values were compared with an arterial blood gas. The differences between arteria...

BACKGROUND End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is an important part of patient care. Understanding and interpreting ETCO2 wavelengths can be a challenge. This pilot study explored the efficacy of a novel approach to educating clinicians on ETCO2 monitoring via game theory. METHOD A video game application for ETCO2 monitoring was developed. Clinicians were encouraged to play the game o...
