Resting End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Predicts Respiratory Complications in Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgical Procedures

Investigating the Relationship Between End Tidal Carbon Dioxide and Arterial Carbon Dioxide Pressure in Patients With Respiratory Distress Referred to the Emergency Room of Hazrat Rasool Akram Hospital

Background: Measuring End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO-2) can be a non-invasive, fast, and reliable method to predict partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in patients with respiratory distress. This method, which can be a suitable substitute to measure PaCO2, is being used in many emergency rooms and operating rooms in developed countries, but its exact relationship with PaCO2 has not been ...

Arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide differences during neurosurgical procedures.

experimental investigation performed in dogs in vivo has found no beneficial effect with paneuronium on pulmonary resistance, 6 contrary to what was expected by Kuwahara and Goresky from pancuronium sympathomimetic properties. Moreover, low doses of pancuronium increased pulmonary resistance (likely by blocking prejunctional M2-muscarinic receptors) whereas vecuronium was devoid of this side ef...

End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring.

correlation of end-tidal carbon dioxide with arterial carbon dioxide in mechanically ventilated patients

background: patients undergone mechanical ventilation need rapid and reliable evaluation of their respiratory status. monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide (etco2) as a surrogate, noninvasive measurement of arterial carbon dioxide (paco2) is one of the methods used for this purpose in intubated patients. objectives: the aim of the present trial was to study the relationship between end-tidal c...

Prognostic value of resting end-tidal carbon dioxide in patients with heart failure.

BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) variables provide valuable prognostic information in the heart failure (HF) population. The purpose of the present study is to assess the ability of resting end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) to predict cardiac-related events in patients with HF. METHODS 121 subjects diagnosed with compensated HF underwent CPET on an outpatien...
