Background
CO2 monitoring is helping in providing essential information about patient ventilatory status. It serves as complementary to measurement of oxygen saturation. CO2 monitoring is especially valuable in patients with chronic lung diseases and at risk for hypoventilation such as Neuromuscular Weakness, Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), Obesity-related Hypoventilation and Muscle Weakness. There are various methods to measure CO2 such as Arterial Blood Gas (ABG), End-Tidal CO2 ( EtCO2 ) and Transcutaneous CO2 ( TcCO2).
