Cureus 2024; 16:e53661. [PMID: 38455779 PMCID: PMC10917651 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.53661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension (PtcCO2) measurement is a promising alternative to arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) measurement. PaCO2 measurement is invasive and intermittent, whereas PtcCO2 measurement is non-invasive and continuous. However, previous studies evaluating PtcCO2measurements did not include patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), who experience anticipated hemodynamic changes, particularly before and after valve placement. Therefore, we investigated whether PtcCO2 measurement could provide an alternative to PaCO2 measurement during transfemoral TAVR under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with local anesthesia. Methodology We conducted a prospective observational study. We included all consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who were scheduled to undergo a transfemoral TAVR under MAC at our institution from November 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021. During the procedures, PaCO2 and PtcCO2 were concurrently monitored six times as a reference standard and index test, respectively. PtcCO2 was monitored continuously using a non-invasive earlobe sensor. The agreement between PtcCO2 and PaCO2 measurements was assessed using the Bland-Altman method, and the 95% limits of agreement were calculated. Based on previous studies, we determined that 95% limits of agreement of ±6.0 mmHg would be clinically acceptable to define PtcCO2 as an alternative to PaCO2. Results We obtained 88 measurement pairs from 15 patients. The lower and upper 95% limits of agreement between the PtcCO2 and PaCO2 measurements were -4.22 mmHg and 6.56 mmHg, respectively. Conclusions During TAVR under MAC with local anesthesia, PtcCO2 measurement could not provide a viable alternative to PaCO2 measurement to reduce high PaCO2 events. This study focused on comparing intraoperative periods before and after valve implantation. Therefore, further investigation is warranted to assess the impact of various factors, including the prosthetic valve type and the hemodynamic effects of balloon aortic valvuloplasty, on PtcCO2 measurement in TAVR.

Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring More Accurately Detects Hypercapnia than End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Monitoring during Non-Intubated Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041706. [PMID: 36836241 PMCID: PMC9962657 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) monitoring is known to be effective at estimating the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in patients with sedation-induced respiratory depression. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of PtcCO2 monitoring to measure PaCO2 and its sensitivity to detect hypercapnia (PaCO2 > 60 mmHg) compared to nasal end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) monitoring during non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This retrospective study included patients undergoing non-intubated VATS from December 2019 to May 2021. Datasets of PetCO2, PtcCO2, and PaCO2 measured simultaneously were extracted from patient records. Overall, 111 datasets of CO2 monitoring during one-lung ventilation (OLV) were collected from 43 patients. PtcCO2 had higher sensitivity and predictive power for hypercapnia during OLV than PetCO2 (84.6% vs. 15.4%, p < 0.001; area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; 0.912 vs. 0.776, p = 0.002). Moreover, PtcCO2 was more in agreement with PaCO2 than PetCO2, indicated by a lower bias (bias ± standard deviation; -1.6 ± 6.5 mmHg vs. 14.3 ± 8.4 mmHg, p < 0.001) and narrower limit of agreement (-14.3-11.2 mmHg vs. -2.2-30.7 mmHg). These results suggest that concurrent PtcCO2 monitoring allows anesthesiologists to provide safer respiratory management for patients undergoing non-intubated VATS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PtcCO2) and arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) and the accuracy of PtcCO2 in predicting PaCO2 during laparoscopic surgery in pediatric patients. METHODS Children aged 2-8 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I or II who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were selected. After anesthesia induction and tracheal intubation, PtcCO2 was monitored, and radial arterial catheterization was performed for continuous pressure measurement. PaCO2, PtcCO2, and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2) were measured before pneumoperitoneum, and 30, 60, and 90 min after pneumoperitoneum, respectively. The correlation and agreement between PtcCO2 and PaCO2, PetCO2, and PaCO2 were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 32 patients were eventually enrolled in this study, resulting in 128 datasets. The linear regression equations were: PtcCO2 = 7.89 + 0.82 × PaCO2 (r2 = 0.70, P < 0.01); PetCO2 = 9.87 + 0.64 × PaCO2 (r2 = 0.69, P < 0.01). The 95% limits of agreement (LOA) of PtcCO2 - PaCO2 average was 0.66 ± 4.92 mmHg, and the 95% LOA of PetCO2 - PaCO2 average was -4.4 ± 4.86 mmHg. A difference of ≤ 5 mmHg was noted between PtcCO2 and PaCO2 in 122/128 samples and between PetCO2 and PaCO2 in 81/128 samples (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION In pediatric laparoscopic surgery, a close correlation was established between PtcCO2 and PaCO2. Compared to PetCO2, PtcCO2 can estimate PaCO2 accurately and could be used as an auxiliary monitoring indicator to optimize anesthesia management for laparoscopic surgery in children; however, it is not a substitute for PetCO2.

Strategy to Reduce Hypercapnia in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Using Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring: A Prospective Observational Study. Ther Clin Risk Manag 2022; 18:249-258. [PMID: 35330918 PMCID: PMC8938168 DOI: 10.2147/tcrm.s347690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) is a noninvasive, continuous method, but its accuracy is reduced by prolonged capnoperitoneum and the steep Trendelenburg position in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PTCCO2) monitoring, which is not affected by ventilator–perfusion mismatch, has been suggested as a suitable alternative. We compared the agreement of noninvasive measurements with the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) over a long period of capnoperitoneum, and investigated its sensitivity and predictive power for detecting hypercapnia. Patients and Methods The patients who underwent RARP were enrolled in this study prospectively. Intraoperative measurements of PETCO2, PTCCO2, and PaCO2 were analyzed. The primary outcome was the agreement of noninvasive monitoring with PaCO2 during prolonged capnoperitoneum. Bias and precision between noninvasive measurements and PaCO2 were assessed using Bland–Altman analysis. The bias and mean absolute difference were compared using a two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test for pairs. The secondary outcome was the sensitivity and predictive power for detecting hypercapnia. To assess this, the Yates corrected chi-square test and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were used. Results The study analyzed 219 datasets from 46 patients. Compared with PETCO2, PTCCO2 had lower bias, greater precision, and better agreement with PaCO2 throughout the RARP. The mean absolute difference in PETCO2 and PaCO2 was larger than that of PTCCO2 and PaCO2, and continued to exceed the clinically acceptable range of 5 mmHg after 1 hour of capnoperitoneum. The sensitivity during capnoperitoneum and overall predictive power of PTCCO2 for detecting hypercapnia were significantly higher than those of PETCO2, suggesting a greater contribution to ventilator adjustment, to treat hypercapnia. Conclusion PTCCO2 monitoring measured PaCO2 more accurately than PETCO2 monitoring during RARP requiring prolonged capnoperitoneum and a steep Trendelenburg position. PTCCO2 monitoring also provides more sensitive measurements for ventilator adjustment and detects hypercapnia more effectively than PETCO2 monitoring.

Recent Insights into the Measurement of Carbon Dioxide Concentrations for Clinical Practice in Respiratory Medicine. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 21:5636. [PMID: 34451079 PMCID: PMC8402333 DOI: 10.3390/s21165636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
In the field of respiratory clinical practice, the importance of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations cannot be overemphasized. Within the body, assessment of the arterial partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2) has been the gold standard for many decades. Non-invasive assessments are usually predicated on the measurement of CO2 concentrations in the air, usually using an infrared analyzer, and these data are clearly important regarding climate changes as well as regulations of air quality in buildings to ascertain adequate ventilation. Measurements of CO2 production with oxygen consumption yield important indices such as the respiratory quotient and estimates of energy expenditure, which may be used for further investigation in the various fields of metabolism, obesity, sleep disorders, and lifestyle-related issues. Measures of PaCO2 are nowadays performed using the Severinghaus electrode in arterial blood or in arterialized capillary blood, while the same electrode system has been modified to enable relatively accurate non-invasive monitoring of the transcutaneous partial pressure of CO2 (PtcCO2). PtcCO2 monitoring during sleep can be helpful for evaluating sleep apnea syndrome, particularly in children. End-tidal PCO2 is inferior to PtcCO2 as far as accuracy, but it provides breath-by-breath estimates of respiratory gas exchange, while PtcCO2 reflects temporal trends in alveolar ventilation. The frequency of monitoring end-tidal PCO2 has markedly increased in light of its multiple applications (e.g., verify endotracheal intubation, anesthesia or mechanical ventilation, exercise testing, respiratory patterning during sleep, etc.).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Children undergoing tonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing are at risk for respiratory compromise when narcotics are administered. Severe complications resulting from hypoxia can include neuro-devastation and death. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and utility of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcPCO2) monitoring during and after adenotonsillectomy. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, Observational study. METHODS Twenty-nine children with sleep-disordered breathing scheduled for adenotonsillectomy were included in the study. Peri-operative measurements of tcPCO2 were compared against a single venous blood sample (PaCO2) and end-tidal (ET) CO2. The differences between ETCO2, tcPCO2 measures, and PaCO2 were examined using non-paired t-tests and linear regression. Parameters from PSG were recorded and associations with tcPCO2 values were performed using linear regression analysis. Group comparisons were made between pre-, intra-, and post-operative tcPCO2 measurements. RESULTS Similar to ETCO2, there was good correlation of tcPCO2 to PaCO2. Children with lower oxygen (O2) saturation nadirs had higher peak CO2 levels during surgery and spent a greater proportion of time with CO2 > 50 mmHg in the recovery room (P < .01 and P < .08). Other PSG measures (apnea-hypopnea index, O2 desaturation index, and peak CO2) did not have any significant correlation. Frequent episodes of hypercapnia were noted intra- and post-operatively and mean tcPCO2 values during both periods were significantly higher than baseline (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS tcPCO2 monitoring is viable in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy and can provide a good estimate of hypoventilation. tcPCO2 measurements may have particular benefit in the post-operative setting and may assist in identifying children at greater risk for respiratory complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Usual clinical practice for arterial blood gas analysis (BGA) in conscious patients involves a one-time arterial puncture to be performed after a resting period of 20-30 min. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of transcutaneous BGA for estimating this gold standard arterial BGA. METHODS Spontaneously breathing Asian adults (healthy volunteers and respiratory patients) were enrolled (n = 295). Transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) and PCO2 (PtcCO2) were monitored using a transcutaneous monitor (TCM4, Radiometer Medical AsP, Denmark) with sensors placed on the chest, forearm, earlobe or forehead. Transcutaneous BGA at 1-min intervals was compared with arterial BGA at 30 min. Reasonable steps to find severe hypercapnia with PaCO2 > 50 mmHg were evaluated. RESULTS Sensors on the chest and forearm were equally preferred and used because of small biases (n = 272). The average PCO2 bias was close to 0 mmHg at 4 min, and was almost constant (4-5 mmHg) with PtcCO2 being higher than PaCO2 at ≥8 min. The limit of agreement for PCO2 narrowed over time: ± 13.6 mmHg at 4 min, ± 7.5 mmHg at 12-13 min, and ± 6.3 mmHg at 30 min. The limit of agreement for PO2 also narrowed over time (± 23.1 mmHg at 30 min). Subgroup analyses showed that the PaCO2 and PaO2 levels, gender, and younger age significantly affected the biases. All hypercapnia subjects with PaCO2 > 50 mmHg (n = 13) showed PtcCO2 ≥ 50 mmHg for until 12 min. CONCLUSIONS Although PtcCO2 is useful, it cannot completely replace PaCO2 because PCO2 occasionally showed large bias. On the other hand, the prediction of PaO2 using PtcO2 was unrealistic in Asian adults. PtcCO2 ≥ 50 mmHg for until 12 min can be used as a screening tool for severe hypercapnia with PaCO2 > 50 mmHg.

Abstract
Severe hypercapnia can be predicted by a decrease in cerebral electrical activity. The authors describe a sudden decrease in spectral entropy due to severe hypercapnia-induced respiratory acidosis in a patient with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease during lung resection. After two and a half hours of low tidal volume ventilation in the lateral position, the state entropy suddenly dropped from 45 to 7, without any changes in the effect-site concentration of propofol, end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) tension, oxygen saturation, or arterial pressure. However, arterial blood gas analysis showed severe respiratory acidosis (pH 7.01, PaCO2 115 mmHg and PaO2 246 mmHg with FIO2 of 0.5). Immediate hyperventilation improved the state entropy and acid-base balance. Electroencephalography-based spectral entropy can detect severe hypercapnia in chronic pulmonary obstructive disease patients with a large arterial to end-tidal CO2 difference due to prolonged hypoventilation during thoracic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia and hypercarbia complicate flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Unlike oxygenation by pulse-oximetry, alveolar ventilation is not routinely monitored during FB. The aim of this study was to investigate ventilation in children undergoing FB by measuring carbon-dioxide (CO2 ) levels using the transcutaneous technique. METHODS Children admitted for FB were recruited. In addition to routine monitoring, transcutaneous CO2 (TcCO2 ) levels were recorded. All were sedated using the same protocol. RESULTS Ninety-five children were studied. There was no association between peak TcCO2 or rise in TcCO2 and age, weight percentile, bronchoscope size, or diagnosis. Median baseline TcCO2 was 36 mmHg (IQR 32,40), median peak TcCO2 was 51 mmHg (IQR 43,62) with median TcCO2 rise of 17 mmHg (IQR 6.5,23.7). A rise of 15 mmHg or higher was recorded in 55% (n = 52) patients. Children requiring total propofol dose over 3.5 mg/kg had a significantly higher TcCO2 peak of 57.6 mmHg (IQR 47.8,66.7) compared to 47.1 mmHg (IQR 40,57) (P = 0.004) and a higher rise in TcCO2 22.5 mmHg (IQR 17,33.9) compared to 13.6 mmHg (6,22) (P = 0.001). Results were not affected by intranasal midazolam and broncho-alveolar lavage. No complications were reported. Non clinically significant (i.e., not lower than 90%) brief drops in oxygen saturation were observed. CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of children undergoing FB have significant alveolar hypoventilation indicated by a rise in TcCO2 . Monitoring ventilation with TcCO2 is feasible and should be added during FB particularly in cases that are expected to require large amounts of sedation and patients susceptible to complications from respiratory acidosis.

Zhang H, Wang DX. Noninvasive Measurement of Carbon Dioxide during One-Lung Ventilation with Low Tidal Volume for Two Hours: End-Tidal versus Transcutaneous Techniques. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0138912. [PMID: 26466140 PMCID: PMC4605619 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0138912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2015] [Accepted: 09/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There may be significant difference between measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2) and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) during one-lung ventilation with low tidal volume for thoracic surgeries. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PtcCO2) monitoring can be used continuously to evaluate PaCO2 in a noninvasive fashion. In this study, we compared the accuracy between PetCO2 and PtcCO2 in predicting PaCO2 during prolonged one-lung ventilation with low tidal volume for thoracic surgeries. METHODS Eighteen adult patients who underwent thoracic surgeries with one-lung ventilation longer than two hours were included in this study. Their PetCO2, PtcCO2, and PaCO2 values were collected at five time points before and during one-lung ventilation. Agreement among measures was evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS Ninety sample sets were obtained. The bias and precision when PtcCO2 and PaCO2 were compared were 4.1 ± 6.5 mmHg during two-lung ventilation and 2.9 ± 6.1 mmHg during one-lung ventilation. Those when PetCO2 and PaCO2 were compared were -11.8 ± 6.4 mmHg during two-lung ventilation and -11.8 ± 4.9 mmHg during one-lung ventilation. The differences between PtcCO2 and PaCO2 were significantly lower than those between PetCO2 and PaCO2 at all five time-points (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PtcCO2 monitoring was more accurate for predicting PaCO2 levels during prolonged one-lung ventilation with low tidal volume for patients undergoing thoracic surgeries.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have suggested that end-tidal CO2 (ET-CO2) may be inaccurate during one-lung ventilation (OLV). This study was performed to compare the accuracy of the noninvasive monitoring of PCO2 using transcutaneous CO2 (TC-CO2) with ET-CO2 in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) during OLV. Materials and Methods: In adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgical procedures, PCO2 was simultaneously measured with TC-CO2 and ET-CO2 devices and compared with PaCO2. Results: The cohort for the study included 15 patients ranging in age from 19 to 71 years and in weight from 76 to 126 kg. During TLV, the difference between the TC-CO2 and the PaCO2 was 3.0 ± 1.8 mmHg and the difference between the ET-CO2 and PaCO2 was 6.2 ± 4.7 mmHg (P=0.02). Linear regression analysis of TC-CO2 vs. PaCO2 resulted in an r2 = 0.6280 and a slope = 0.7650 ± 0.1428, while linear regression analysis of ET-CO2vs. PaCO2 resulted in an r2 = 0.05528 and a slope = 0.1986 ± 0.1883. During OLV, the difference between the TC-CO2 and PaCO2 was 3.5 ± 1.7 mmHg and the ET-CO2 to PaCO2 difference was 9.6 ± 3.6 mmHg (P=0.03 vs. ET-CO2 to PaCO2 difference during TLV; and P<0.0001 vs. TC-CO2 to PaCO2 difference during OLV). In 13 of the 15 patients, the TC-CO2 value was closer to the actual PaCO2 than the ET-CO2 value (P =0.0001). Linear regression analysis of TC-CO2vs. PaCO2 resulted in an r2 = 0.7827 and a slope = 0.8142 ± 0.0.07965, while linear regression analysis of ET-CO2vs. PaCO2 resulted in an r2 = 0.2989 and a slope = 0.3026 ± 0.08605. Conclusions: During OLV, TC-CO2 monitoring provides a better estimate of PaCO2 than ET-CO2 in patients undergoing VATS.

[PMID: 21131188 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2010.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2010] [Revised: 10/06/2010] [Accepted: 11/12/2010] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtCO(2)) monitoring offers a potentially non-invasive and continuous means to determine the arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO(2)). ED studies of agreement between PtCO(2) and PaCO(2) have had conflicting findings and have not been targeted to subgroups with severe ventilatory disturbance such as those requiring non-invasive ventilation [NIV]. Our aim is to determine agreement between PtCO(2) and PaCO(2) for patients undergoing NIV for respiratory failure. METHODS This prospective observational study included a convenience sample of patients undergoing NIV for respiratory failure who required arterial blood gas analysis as part of their care. Data collected included patient demographics, indication for NIV, diagnosis, vital signs, and pH, PaCO(2) and PtCO(2). The outcome of interest was agreement between PaCO(2) and PtCO(2). Analysis was made using descriptive statistics, Bland-Altman techniques, Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher/Chi square tests. RESULTS 46 comparisons were analysed. Median age was 69 [IQR 65-79], 67% male; median PaCO(2) 60 mmHg [IQR 46-70] and median pH 7.35 [IQR 7.30-7.38]. Average difference between PaCO(2) and PtCO(2) was 6.1 mmHg with 95% limits of agreement -10.1-22.3 mmHg. Thirty seven comparisons [80%] were within 10 mmHg [95% CI 66-90%]. Difference >10 mmHg was associated with increasing PaCO(2) [p = 0.001; median difference 19.6 mmHg, 95% CI 9.2-30.4 mmHg]. All cases with difference >10 mmHg had PaCO(2) > 60 mmHg. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing NIV, agreement between PaCO(2) and PtCO(2) was sub-optimal, with unacceptably wide 95% limits of agreement. PtCO(2) cannot be recommended as a substitute for PaCO(2) testing in this group.

Abstract
Sympathetic nerve activity influences cerebral blood flow, but it is unknown whether augmented sympathetic nerve activity resets cerebral vasoreactivity to hypercapnia. This study tested the hypothesis that cerebral vasodilation during hypercapnia is restrained by lower-body negative pressure (LBNP)-stimulated sympathoexcitation. Cerebral hemodynamic responses were assessed in nine healthy volunteers [age 25 yr (SD 3)] during rebreathing-induced increases in partial pressure of end-tidal CO(2) (Pet(CO(2))) at rest and during LBNP. Cerebral hemodynamic responses were determined by changes in flow velocity of middle cerebral artery (MCAV) using transcranial Doppler sonography and in regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (ScO(2)) using near-infrared spectroscopy. Pet(CO(2)) values during rebreathing were similarly increased from 41.9 to 56.5 mmHg at rest and from 40.7 to 56.0 mmHg during LBNP of -15 Torr. However, the rates of increases in MCAV and in ScO(2) per unit increase in Pet(CO(2)) (i.e., the slopes of MCAV/Pet(CO(2)) and ScO(2)/Pet(CO(2))) were significantly (P ≤0.05) decreased from 2.62 ± 0.16 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1) and 0.89 ± 0.10%/mmHg at rest to 1.68 ± 0.18 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1) and 0.63 ± 0.07%/mmHg during LBNP. In conclusion, the sensitivity of cerebral vasoreactivity to hypercapnia, in terms of the rate of increases in MCAV and in ScO(2), is diminished by LBNP-stimulated sympathoexcitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There may be large differences between measurements of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (Petco(2)) and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (Paco(2)) during laparoscopic surgeries. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (Ptcco(2)) monitoring can be used to noninvasively and continuously estimate Paco(2). In the present study we evaluated the accuracy of Ptcco(2) monitoring in predicting the Paco(2) during laparoscopic surgeries with prolonged pneumoperitoneum. METHODS Sixteen patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy or radical proctectomy under general anesthesia were included in the study. Their Paco(2), Petco(2), and Ptcco(2) values were measured at 3 time points before and after pneumoperitoneum. Agreement among measures was assessed by the Bland-Altman method. RESULTS Forty-eight sample sets were obtained. The average Paco(2)- Ptcco(2) difference was -0.9 + or - 6.4 mm Hg (mean + or - 2 SD). The average Paco(2) - Petco(2) difference was 7.5 + or - 7.0 mm Hg (mean + or - 2 SD). Paco(2) - Ptcco(2) was less than or equal to + or -5 mm Hg for 88% of the samples. Paco(2) - Petco(2) was less than or equal to + or -5 mm Hg for 17% of the samples (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS While undergoing long-term pneumoperitoneum laparoscopic surgery, Ptcco(2) monitoring is more accurate than is PETCO(2) monitoring in predicting the patients' Paco(2).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous carbon dioxide tension (PcCO(2)) is a promising non-invasive surrogate measure of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO(2)). OBJECTIVES To compare values of PcCO(2) and oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) with arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. METHODS SpO(2) and PcCO(2) were measured with a v-Sign-sensor (Sentec AG, Therwil, Switzerland) and the values compared with simultaneously obtained SaO(2) and PaCO(2) obtained from ABG analysis (ABL 725, Radiometer, Copenhagen, Denmark) in 275 adult patients referred to the lung function laboratory. RESULTS Median of the PcCO(2) was 4.7 kPa (interquartile range [IQR] 0.9 kPa). Median of the SpO(2) was 97% (IQR 3%). Bland-Altman analysis for comparison of PcCO(2) with PaCO(2) showed a bias of -0.1 kPa with a precision of +/- 0.9 kPa with 3.7% outlying values. Bland-Altman analysis for the comparison of SpO(2) and SaO(2) showed a bias of 20.1 % with a precision of +/- 3.5%. There were no complications. CONCLUSION There is a good agreement between combined cutaneous capnography and oximetry values with ABG analysis. Due to the excellent safety profile and the short time to get a continuous measurement, this technique should be examined in settings where it can complement repeated ABG analysis when ventilatory disturbances are suspected or non-invasive monitoring of ventilation is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the technology required for and the applications of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TC-CO2) monitoring in infants and children. DATA SOURCE A computerized, bibliographic search regarding the applications of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TC-CO2) monitoring in infants and children. RESULTS Although the direct measurement of P(a)CO2 remains the gold standard, it provides only a single measurement of what is often a rapidly changing and evolving clinical picture. Given these concerns, there remains a clinical need for a means to continuously monitor P(a)CO2 without the need for repeated blood gas analysis. Although initially introduced into the neonatal intensive care unit; with improvements in the technology, TC-CO2 monitoring can now be used in infants, children and even adults. When compared with end-tidal carbon dioxide (ET-CO2) monitoring techniques, TC-CO2 monitoring has been shown to be equally as accurate in patients with normal respiratory function and more accurate in patients with shunt or ventilation-perfusion inequalities. TC-CO2 monitoring can be applied in situations that generally preclude ET-CO2 monitoring such as high frequency ventilation, apnea testing, and noninvasive ventilation. TC-CO2 monitoring has also been used in spontaneously breathing children with airway and respiratory issues such as croup and status asthmaticus as well as to monitor metabolic status during treatment of acidosis related to diabetic ketoacidosis. CONCLUSIONS Transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring may be a useful adjunct in various clinical scenarios in infants and children. It should be viewed as a complimentary technology and may be used in combination with ET-CO2 monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to validate the V-Sign digital sensor (SenTec AG, Therweil, Switzerland) for combined noninvasive assessment of pulse oxymetric oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension (PtcCO(2)) in adults after cardiac surgery. METHODS In twenty one patients, aged 51-86 years, simultaneous measurements of blood gases with the V-Sign Sensor and with two Nellcor Durasensors (model DS-100A), one at the opposite earlobe and one with a finger clip, were compared first during hyper-, normo- and hypocapnia and at different pulse rates using a pacemaker, and then at 2-h intervals up to 8 h. Agreement was assessed by Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS PtcCO(2) data of three patients were excluded because of calibration failure of the device. Median (range) PtcCO(2) for the remaining patients was 5.49 (3.3-7.6) kPa and arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO(2)) was 5.43 (3.61-7.41) kPa. Corresponding mean bias was +0.05 kPa and limits of agreement (LOA) were -1.2/+1.3 kPa. During normo- and hypoventilation, mean bias was good at +0.02 and +0.04 kPa respectively, but limits of agreement were poor at -0.67/+0.69 and -0.81/+0.88 kPa. In 10 patients, an initial overshoot of PtcCO(2 )was observed. Mean bias of SpO(2) and pulse rate was close to zero (-1.5% and +0.001 bpm respectively), but limits of agreement were unacceptably high (-21.4/+18.4% and -22.3/+22.3 bpm). CONCLUSIONS In the present state of development the SenTeC Digital monitor V-Sign device has serious limitations. Additional efforts are necessary to eliminate calibration failures and the initial overshoot of PtcCO(2) as well as to improve detection of SpO(2) and pulse rate.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy and precision of estimation of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pa(CO2)) using end-tidal or transcutaneous CO2 (TcP(CO2)) measurements during mechanical ventilation in the elderly patient. DESIGN A prospective, observational study was conducted. SETTINGS The study was done in the anesthesia department of a university hospital. PATIENTS Seventeen anesthetized, mechanically ventilated patients older than 60 years were studied. INTERVENTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS During standard sevoflurane anesthesia, and after proper calibration and an equilibration time of 30 minutes with stable hemodynamic and respiratory variables, arterial (Pa(CO2)), end-tidal (Pet(CO2)), and transcutaneous (TcP(CO2)) CO2 partial pressures were determined. In each patient, 1 to 5 sample sets (Pa(CO2), Pet(CO2), and TcP(CO2)) were obtained. MAIN RESULTS A total of 45 sample sets were obtained from the patients studied. The Pa(CO2) values ranged between 21 and 58 mm Hg. The Pa(CO2) - Pet(CO2) tension gradient was 6 +/- 5 mmHg (95% confidence interval, -3 to 16 mmHg), whereas the Pa(CO2) - TcP(CO2) tension gradient was 2 +/- 4 mmHg (95% confidence interval, -6 to 9 mmHg) (P = 0.0005). The absolute value of the difference between Pa(CO2) and Pet(CO2) was 3 mm Hg or less in 7 of 45 sample sets (15%), whereas the absolute value of the difference between Pa(CO2) and TcP(CO2) was 3 mm Hg or less in 21 of 45 sample sets (46%) (P = 0.003). Linear regression analysis for TcP(CO2) versus Pa(CO2) showed a slope of 0.84 (r(2) = 0.73), whereas the linear regression analysis for Pet(CO2) versus Pa(CO2) showed a slope of 0.54 (r(2) = 0.50). CONCLUSION Transcutaneous monitoring of CO(2) partial pressure gives a more accurate estimation of arterial CO(2) partial pressure than does Pet(CO2) monitoring.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Transcutaneous CO(2) pressure (Ptcco(2)) and transcutaneous O(2) pressure (Ptco(2)) measurements are routinely used in pediatric ICUs in order to avoid serial arterial punctures. The aim of this study was to determine the value of Ptcco(2) assessment during the evaluation of home ventilation in 12 adult patients with COPD or restrictive respiratory failure in the stable state (mean [+/- SD] basal Paco(2), 48.8 +/- 8.3 mm Hg) who were treated by mask or tracheotomy-mediated ventilation. METHODS After radial catheter insertion, patients were instructed to breathe spontaneously for 40 min and then to receive ventilation for 40 min according to their individual home ventilation modalities. An in vivo calibration was performed in the initial stage of the study in order to optimize the arterial Pco(2) and Ptcco(2) values. Every 5 min, transcutaneous measurements were performed and simultaneously compared with arterial values. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Ptcco(2) and Ptco(2) were correlated with arterial values (p < 0.0001) except for Paco(2) values of > 56 mm Hg and Pao(2) values of > 115 mm Hg. During ventilation, Paco(2) decreased >or= 4 mm Hg in seven patients. Ptcco(2) variations recorded during consecutive 5-min periods while the patient received mechanical ventilation were well correlated with the arterial variations (p = 0.0033), with a delay of < 5 min. CONCLUSION Ptcco(2) values and variations accurately reflected Paco(2) values and variations during mechanical ventilation. However, the accuracy of these data seems to be restricted to patients with Paco(2) values of < 56 mm Hg.

Abstract
It cannot be overemphasized that a piece of electrical equipment is not capable of replacing a vigilant, well-trained clinician. As monitoring devices become more sophisticated, the potential for artifact or misinterpretation increases. When applied appropriately, operated properly, and interpreted correctly, however, the monitors afford the patient the best possible outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Arterial blood gas analysis is the 'gold standard' method to measure the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). However, arterial sampling including arterial catheterization is invasive and expensive. Cutaneous carbon dioxide tension (PcCO2) measurement is used as a noninvasive surrogate measure of PaCO2, which is used to either estimate PaCO2 or determine trend changes in the measurement. There has been considerable progress in the technical aspects of PcCO2 monitoring in the last few years. In this article, we evaluate recent developments and the renewed interest in the subject of PcCO2 monitoring in adults and discuss the technical aspects, clinical applications and the future outlook for this technique in the clinical setting. RECENT FINDINGS With evolution in technology, PcCO2 monitoring is now less cumbersome than before. Combined PcCO2 measurement and pulse oximetry is now possible with a single earlobe sensor. SUMMARY The clinical settings in which PcCO2 monitoring can be applied include patient monitoring during and after anaesthesia, patients receiving noninvasive ventilation, post extubation, endoscopy under sedation, the sleep laboratory and the lung function laboratory. Although there is an overlap of the clinical indications when both PcCO2 and end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring may be used, it is our opinion that both these methods have independent indications and are sometimes also complementary to each other in patient care.
