Observations of Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Tension and Arterial Oxygen Saturation
We evaluated the performance of a novel combined earlobe sensor for noninvasive transcutaneous monitoring of Sp02 and PtcC02 in two different settings. The studies in critically ill patients revealed a clinically acceptable agreement of PtcC02 and its changes, and of Sp02 by the transcutaneous sensor with simultaneous measurements made by the “gold standard” (ie, the […]

Research of Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Tension and Arterial Oxygen Saturation
Patients Eighteen critically ill patients with indwelling arterial lines were studied in the ICU. Their mean (± SD) age was 62.6 ± 14 years. Sixteen patients had acute respiratory failure; 2 patients had experienced an acute myocardial infarction. Fifteen patients were receiving mechanical ventilation, and 9 patients required inotropic and vasoactive drug treatment. Twelve patients […]

Canadian Health&Care Mall: Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Tension and Arterial Oxygen Saturation
Coninvasive respiratory monitoring has broad applications in the emergency department, in perioperative and intensive care, and for the evaluation of sleep-related breathing disturbances. Whereas arterial oxygen saturation (Sa02) is commonly estimated by pulse oximetry, PaC02 may be estimated from end-tidal carbon dioxide tension or transcuta-neous carbon dioxide tension (PtcC02). Since alterations in ventilation/perfusion matching and […]
