| Abstract |
For transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (tcPCO(2)) measurement, the probe on the trunk or extremities has been used for many years. Our previous study showed that chest was better than arm for tcPCO(2) monitoring. Recently, the ear probe has been developed. The accuracy of tcPCO(2) as a surrogate measurement of arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO(2)) has not been compared between the measurement with probe on the chest and measurement with probe on the earlobe. This study compared the accuracy of tcPCO(2) measured on the chest and tcPCO(2) measured on earlobe during general anesthesia in adults using linear regression analysis and Bland-Altman plot. |
