Assessment of Nocturnal Hypoventilation by Different Methods and Definitions in Children with Neuromuscular Disease: Oxycapnography and Blood Gas Analysis
Abstract:Objective: To investigate whether partial arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) level in arterial blood gas analysis that was used to predict nocturnal hypoventilation (NH) is concordant with nocturnal end-tidal CO2 (PetCO2) measurement obtained by a noninvasive method of oxycapnography in children with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 6-18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of NMD were enrolled. Each patient underwent a nocturnal oxycapnography study using an orinasal probe and … Show more
