A correlation between end tidal
carbon dioxide and arterial PCO2 known to be a
non- invasive and
safe procedure in patients undergoing Coronary artery
bypass graft. Forty patients were maintained
with normothermia and hypothermia during cardiac
surgery in the current study. All patients were
operated with midline sternotomy, aortic
bicavalcannulation or aortic-right atrium cannulation for
cardiopulmonary bypass. Arterial Blood Gas measurements
(ABG) along with ETCO2 and PaCO2
monitoring
were performed. The patient group had undergone a variety of surgical
procedures. They
were maintained on CPB with aorta cross clamp. There
was no significant difference in ETCO2 and
PaCO2 pressures
both at normothermia as well as moderate hypothermia during CPB. Monitoring
ETCO2 reflects
accurate measurements of PaCO2. Repeated
sampling for ABG therefore can be
avoided as a cheap, non-invasive method to ascertain
the health of the patients.
