END-TIDAL VERSUS TRANSCUTANEOUS CO2 MEASUREMENT IN THE CRITICALLY ILL NEONATE
Abstract
Both end-tidal (PetCO2) and transoutaneous (PtoCO2) estimates of PaCO2 have limitations in the critically ill neonate. To determine whether the site of PetCO2 sampling is important, 47 measurements of distal and proximal PetCO2, PtoCO2 and PaCO2 were compared. Twenty-eight intubated neonates, 35±1 wks post-conceptual age with a mean weight of 2.32±0.9 kg were studied. Distal and proximal PetCO2 were measured at the tip and connector of the …
