A comparison of the incidence of hypercapnea in non-obese and morbidly obese peri-operative patients using the SenTec transcutaneous pCO(2) monitor

Obese patients are at increased risk for hypoventilation, leading to hypercapnea and acidosis. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence of perioperative hypercapnea in non-obese and morbidly obese patients using the SenTec transcutaneous PCO2 (tcPCO2) monitor. 10 morbidly obe...

Summary:Obese patients are at increased risk for hypoventilation, leading to hypercapnea and acidosis. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence of perioperative hypercapnea in non-obese and morbidly obese patients using the SenTec transcutaneous PCO2 (tcPCO2) monitor. 10 morbidly obese subjects (BMI > 40 kg/m(2)) undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery, and 10 non-obese subjects (BMI
