Evaluation of a patient’s respiratory and ventilatory status is often based on intermittent arterial samples that are neither practical during sleep nor offer continuous blood gas monitoring.

Overall partial pressure of CO² and the constant real-time measurement of CO² present what a patient likely is experiencing physiologically. For years, we used color-metric devices to identify for ...

Background and Aims: To test the hypothesis that effective ventilation, as evidenced by an increase in expired carbon dioxide (CO2), during the initial resuscitation of prematurely born infants would ...
