Accuracy evaluation of mainstream and sidestream end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during noninvasive ventilation: a randomized crossover trial (MASCAT-NIV trial).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P_ETCO₂) can be used to estimate the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) in patients who undergo mechanical ventilation via endotracheal intubation. However, no reliable method for measuring P_ETCO₂ during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been established. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation and agreement between PaCO₂ and P_ETCO₂ measured by these two methods and to compare them in patients who underwent NIV after extubation.

Methods

This study was a randomized, open-label, crossover trial in a mixed intensive care unit. We included patients who were planned for NIV after extubation and for w
