Conclusions

Transcutaneous CO2 monitoring is a useful non-invasive method of following PtcCO2 along with PtcO2 can be used to monitor pulmonary function, systemic circulation and local tissue perfusion. They are more sensitive in reflecting circulatory changes than conventional monitoring variables such as heart rate, EKG, arterial
