ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess whether end-tidal capnography (EtCO2) monitoring reduced the magnitude of difference in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and the number of blood gases in ventilated infants. STUDYDESIGN:
A case-control study of a prospective cohort (n = 36) with capnography monitoring and matched historical controls (n = 36).RESULT:
The infants had a median gestational age of 31.6 weeks. A reduction in the highest CO2 level on day 1 after birth was observed after the introduction of EtCO2 monitoring (p = 0.043). There was also a reduction in the magnitude of difference in CO2 levels on days 1 (p = 0.002) and 4 (p = 0.049) after birth. There was no significant difference in the number of blood gases.CONCLUSION:
Continuous end-tidal capnography monitoring in ventilated infants was associated with a reduction in the degree of the magnitude of difference in CO2 levels and highest level of CO2 on the first day after birth.
