Comparative Analysis of CO2 Monitoring Methods in Patients With CF Undergoing General Anesthesia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating End tidal CO2 (EtCO2), Transcutaneous CO2 (TCO2), and 2 other interventions for Cystic Fibrosis. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.

Interventions
End tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is monitored through the endotracheal tube during general anesthesia.
Continuous and noninvasive real-time monitoring of transcutaneous CO2.
Capillary CO2 collected by finger stick and run on the i-STAT handheld blood analyzer.
Arterial blood gas collected from the radial artery and run on the i-STAT handheld blood analyzer.
