Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring in Subjects With Acute Respiratory Failure and Severe Hypercapnia.

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (...) monitoring is being used increasingly to assess acute respiratory failure. However, there are conflicting findings concerning its reliability when evaluating patients with high levels of .... Our study evaluates the accuracy of this method in subjects...

However, there are conflicting findings concerning its reliability when evaluating patients with high levels of .... Our study evaluates the accuracy of this method in subjects with respiratory failure according to the severity of hypercapnia. METHODS: We included subjects with respiratory failure, admitted to a respiratory intermediate care unit, who required arterial blood gas analysis. Simultaneously, ... was measured using a digital monitor. Relations between ... and ... were assessed by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Bland-Altman analysis was used to test data dispersion, and an analysis of variance test was used to compare the differences between ... and the corresponding ... at different levels (level 1, <50 mm Hg; level 2, 50-60 mm Hg; level 3, >60 mm Hg). RESULTS: Eighty-one subjects were analyzed. The main diagnosis was COPD exacerbation (45%). ... correlated well with ... (r2 = 0.93, P < .001). Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean ... - PtcCO2 difference of 4.9 ± 4.4 with 95% limits of agreement ranging from -3.6 to 13.4. The difference between variables increased in line with ... severity: level 1, 1.7 ± 3.2 mm Hg; level 2, 3.7 ± 2.8; level 3, 6.8 ± 4.7 (analysis of variance, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed an acceptable agreement of ... monitoring with arterial blood gas analysis. However, we should consider that ... underestimates ... levels, and its accuracy depends on the level of hypercapnia, so this method would not be suitable for acute patients with severe hypercapnia.
