Unknown Use of End-tidal CO(2) in Metabolic Emergencies in Pediatric Patients

The authors describe two cases of metabolic acidosis, caused by diabetic ketoacidosis in the first case and by dehydration following gastroenteritis in the second one. Both patients were followed with noninvasive end-tidal CO(2) (ETCO(2)) monitoring. A correlation between EtCO(2) and PCO(2) and HCO(...

Descripción
Sumario:The authors describe two cases of metabolic acidosis, caused by diabetic ketoacidosis in the first case and by dehydration following gastroenteritis in the second one. Both patients were followed with noninvasive end-tidal CO(2) (ETCO(2)) monitoring. A correlation between EtCO(2) and PCO(2) and HCO(3−) has been established in the literature. Noninvasive ETCO(2) is used in only 5–6% of metabolic emergencies. In contrast, users described its use as easy and convenient.
