End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring in pediatric emergencies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
End-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring is useful in the prehospital setting, emergency department, intensive care unit, and operating room. Capnography provides valuable, timely information about the function of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. End-tidal CO2 monitoring is the single most useful method in confirming endotracheal tube position. It also provides information about dead space, cardiac output, and airway resistance. A thorough understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology and the technical nuances of capnometry is required for its optimal use in children. This review examines the basic physiology pertinent to end-tidal CO2 monitoring, its clinical applications, and evidence supporting its use in infants and children.

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 ...

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...

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...

Background : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) represents a major public health problem. The course of COPD is characterized by episodic periods of worsening symptoms, termed exacerbations. Supplemental oxygen should be given to patients with COPD exacerbation without causing CO2 retention. Arterial blood gas sampling is the gold standard for monitoring adequate oxygenation and for...
