Association between the time-varying arterial carbon dioxide pressure and 28-day mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies have shown an association between baseline arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂) and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, PaCO₂ probably varies throughout the disease, and few studies have assessed the effect of longitudinal PaCO₂ on prognosis. We thus aimed to investigate the association between time-varying PaCO₂ and 28-day mortality in mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.

Methods

In this retrospective study, we included all adult (≥ 18 years) patients diagnosed with ARDS who received mechanical ventilation for at least 24 h at a tertiary teaching hospital between January 2014 and March 2021. Patients were excluded if they received extracorporeal membrane ox
