RESUMO
Objetivo: Valorar la fiabilidad de la medición de la presión transcutánea de dióxido de carbono (PtCO2) respecto a la medición de la presión arterial de dióxido de carbono (PaCO2). Material y métodos: Estudio analítico, observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo. Cohorte de pacientes ingresados en unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos. La PtCO2 se midió con el monitor digital SenTec, aplicando el sensor con un anillo específico (sensor V-sign, versión MDB 04.04.02). Se recogieron al mismo tiempo la PtCO2 y PaCO2. La significación estadística de la asociación se calculó mediante el test F de Snedecor, el coeficiente de correlación r2 de Pearson y el coeficiente de correlación intraclase. El grado de acuerdo se estimó con el método de Bland y Altman. La consistencia de los resultados se estudió con el ANOVA. Resultados: Se compararon 106 mediciones pareadas de PtCO2 y PaCO2, de 12 pacientes. Las PaCO2 y PtCO2 medias fueron 51,0±13mmHg y 50,1±14mmHg; r2=0,87 (p<0,001), CCI=0,96 (IC: 0,940,97). El análisis de Bland-Altman mostró una media de las diferencias de−0,9mmHg (IC:−2,0 a 0,2mmHg). La correlación fue mejor en ausencia de patología respiratoria, con asistencia respiratoria baja, con PaCO2>50mmHg y con aplicación frontal del sensor. Hubo consistencia de los resultados. No se observaron efectos secundarios derivados de la utilización del anillo. Conclusiones: La correlación obtenida entre la PtCO2 y PaCO2 fue muy buena. El monitor digital SenTec y el sensor de anillo específico constituyen una herramienta fiable, segura y fácil de utiliza (AU)
Objective: To estimate the accuracy of the transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension measurement (PtCO2) compared to the measurement of the arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2). Material and methods: An analytical, longitudinal, prospective and observational study, of a dynamic cohort taken from the in-patients of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The PtCO2 was measured with the SenTec AG analyzer, and the sensor was applied with the specific Multi-Site Attachment Ring. PtCO2 and PaCO2 were recorded at the same time. The statistical significance of the association between paired measurements was evaluated with the Snedecor's F test, the Pearson's r2 correlation coefficient and the Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The degree of agreement was evaluated with the Bland & Altman method. The consistency of the results was evaluated with the ANalysis Of the VAriance (ANOVA). Results: One hundred and six paired measurements, PtCO2 and PaCO2, from twelve patients, were compared. The means of the PaCO2 and PtCO2 were 51.0±13mmHg and 50.1±14mmHg, respectively; r2=0.87 (p<0.001), ICC=0.96, (95% CI: 0.940.97). The Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean difference of−0.9mmHg (95% CI:−2.0 to 0.2mmHg). The correlation was better in cases with no respiratory disease, with low respiratory assistance, with PaCO2>50mmHg and with the sensor applied on the forehead. The results were consistent. No side effects derived from the use of the ring were observed. Conclusion: The correlation between PtCO2 and PaCO2 is excellent and stable. The ring sensor was safe and easy to us (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the accuracy of the transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension measurement (PtCO(2)) compared to the measurement of the arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO(2)). MATERIAL AND METHODS: An analytical, longitudinal, prospective and observational study, of a dynamic cohort taken from the in-patients of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The PtCO(2) was measured with the SenTec AG analyzer, and the sensor was applied with the specific Multi-Site Attachment Ring. PtCO(2) and PaCO(2) were recorded at the same time. The statistical significance of the association between paired measurements was evaluated with the Snedecor's F test, the Pearson's r(2) correlation coefficient and the Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The degree of agreement was evaluated with the Bland & Altman method. The consistency of the results was evaluated with the ANalysis Of the VAriance (ANOVA). RESULTS: One hundred and six paired measurements, PtCO(2) and PaCO(2), from twelve patients, were compared. The means of the PaCO(2) and PtCO(2) were 51.0+/-13mmHg and 50.1+/-14mmHg, respectively; r(2)=0.87 (p<0.001), ICC=0.96, (95% CI: 0.94-0.97). The Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean difference of-0.9mmHg (95% CI:-2.0 to 0.2mmHg). The correlation was better in cases with no respiratory disease, with low respiratory assistance, with PaCO(2)>50mmHg and with the sensor applied on the forehead. The results were consistent. No side effects derived from the use of the ring were observed. CONCLUSION: The correlation between PtCO(2) and PaCO(2) is excellent and stable. The ring sensor was safe and easy to use.
