About This Trial
Transcutaneous capnometry (tPCO₂) is a non-invasive method for continuous monitoring of ventilation status. In pediatric intensive care patients, it may reduce the need for repeated arterial or arterialized blood sampling. However, the accuracy of tPCO₂ may be influenced by factors such as peripheral perfusion, skin temperature, and vasopressor therapy. This prospective observational study compare…
