Abstract:Purpose: The aim of the current study was to investigate the accuracy of transcutaneous CO2 pressure (PTCCO2) monitoring and the correlation between it and arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO2), so as to determine PaCO2 in patients undergoing retroperitoneoscopic urologic surgery.
Methods: 50 patients undergoing retroperitoneoscopic urologic surgery were enrolled in this study. PaCO2, end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2), and PTCCO2 values were measured at 4 time points: before pneumoperitoneum, 30 mins,… Show more
