Summary
Four methods are routinely used to monitor CO2 in patients. End tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is monitored through the endotracheal tube during general anesthesia. CO2 is also monitored in other healthcare settings transcutaneously (TCO2), via finger stick capillary CO2 (CapCO2), and arterial blood gas (ABG). The purpose of this study is to perform all four measurements simultaneously during general anesthesia to identify which measure provides the most accurate data with the least amount of patient risk.
