Aim We sought to determine if the difference between P a CO 2 and ET CO 2 is associated
with hospital mortality and neurologic outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest …

Purpose We investigated the predictive value of the gradient between arterial carbon
dioxide (PaCO 2) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO 2)(Pa-ETCO 2) in post-cardiac arrest …

Introduction In former studies, the arterio-alveolar carbon dioxide gradient (ΔCO 2) predicted
in-hospital mortality after initially survived cardiac arrest. As early outcome predictors are …

Aim To evaluate whether end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) value at intubation and its early
increase (10 min) after intubation predict both the survival to hospital admission and the …

AIMS: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical value of arterial minus end-
tidal CO2 [P (a–et) CO2] and alveolar dead space ventilation ratio (VdA/Vt) as indicators of …

Higher values of ETCO 2 during resuscitation from cardiac arrest are generally associated
with a greater likelihood of ROSC. However, timing of measurements and cut-off values …

Aims Little is known about whether guideline-recommended ventilation during
cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in optimal partial carbon dioxide (pCO2) levels or …

We aimed to investigate the utility of end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration as a prognostic
indicator of initial outcome of resuscitation, we conducted a prospective study of EtCO 2 in …

Background: The end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) concentration during resuscitation
(CPR) of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has an increasingly well-known …

Background Current guidelines on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)
recommend careful patient selection, but precise criteria are lacking. Arterial carbon dioxide …
