Predictive capability of End Tidal carbon dioxide and its correlation with arterial carbon dioxide in mechanically ventilated children
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Back ground:End-tidal carbon dioxide ( ETCO2 ) is a surrogate, non-invasive measurement of arterial carbon dioxide ( PaCO2 ); however, its clinical applicability in the intensive care unit setting remains unclear in pediatric population. Objectives:This study aims at assessing the effect of severity of lung disease and correlation between ETCO2 and PaCO2 Materials and methods: This was a prospective, nonrandomised study carried in pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care unit on 104 children requiring mechanical ventilation. Simultaneous ETCO2 and PaCO2 recording were taken, data on ventilator parameters recorded. Severity of lung disease was estimated by alveolar- arteriolar oxygen gradient, ventilation index and PaO2/FiO2 ratio. The PaCO2 and ETCO2 difference and its variability were studied.
