Özet
Objective: To assess the feasibility of using end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) as a non-invasive substitute for partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in emergency department (ED) triage and follow-up, and to explore the potential of partial pressure of venous carbon dioxide (PvCO(2)) as an alternative to PaCO2. Design: Prospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary university hospital. Patients or participants: 97 patients presenting with acute respiratory distress to the ED. Interventions: EtCO2, arterial blood gases, and venous blood gases measured at admission (0 min), 60 min, and 120 min. Main variables of interest: CO2 levels. Results: Among 97 patients (mean age: 70.93 +/- 9.6 years; 60.8% male), EtCO2 > 45 mmHg at admission showed strong positive correlations with PaCO2 and PvCO(2) (r = 0.844, r = 0.803; p < 0.001, respectively). Significant positive correlation was observed between 60-min EtCO2 and PaCO2 (r = 0.729; p < 0.001). Strong correlation between PaCO2 and PvCO(2) at 120 min when EtCO2 > 45 mmHg (r = 0.870; p < 0.001). EtCO2 was higher in hospitalized patients compared to discharged ones. Conclusions: EtCO2 appears promising as a substitute for PaCO2 in ED patients with acute respiratory distress within the initial two hours of treatment. Venous blood gas sampling offers a less invasive alternative to arterial sampling, facilitating simultaneous blood tests. (c) 2024 Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. and SEMICYUC.
