Correlation of end tidal and arterial carbon dioxide levels in critically ill neonates and children

In all the patients, we presume that a low tidal volume approach would have been applied as the ventilation strategy. [...]the dead space would account for almost 40-50% of the exhaled air being analyzed by a mainstream sampler. [...]in our opinion, it would not be rational to conclude strongly that...

Description
Summary:In all the patients, we presume that a low tidal volume approach would have been applied as the ventilation strategy. [...]the dead space would account for almost 40-50% of the exhaled air being analyzed by a mainstream sampler. [...]in our opinion, it would not be rational to conclude strongly that increased severity of lung disease as defined by P/F ratio < 200 negatively affects EtCO 2 values in all age groups.
