Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the accuracy and safety of measurements of transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (TcPCO
METHODS:A total of 45 very low birth weight infants were enrolled. TcPCO
RESULTS:There was no significant difference in TcPCO
CONCLUSIONS:Lower electrode temperatures (38-41℃) can accurately measure blood carbon dioxide partial pressure in very low birth weight infants, and thus can be used to replace the electrode temperature of 42°C. Transcutaneous measurements at the lower electrode temperatures may be helpful for understanding the changing trend of blood oxygen partial pressure.
