Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyImpact of Continuous Capnography in Ventilated Neonates: A Randomized, Multicenter Study.
To compare the time spent within a predefined safe range of CO2 (30-60 mmHg) during conventional ventilation between infants who were monitored with distal end-tidal CO2 (dETCO2, or capnography) and those who were not. ⋯ Continuous dETCO2 monitoring improved control of CO2 levels within a safe range during conventional ventilation in a neonatal intensive care unit.
