Official Title: COmparison of Physiological Dead Space Calculations Using EtCO? and P(A-a)O? in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients: A Prospective Observational Study
Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate two different methods for calculating physiological dead space in adult patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU).Physiological dead space refers to the portion of air that is ventilated but does not participate in gas exchange due to impaired perfusion or ventilation-perfusion mismatch.Traditionally, dead space is calculated using the end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO?) method, which estimates the difference between arterial and exhaled CO?…
