Abstract
We found large differences between EtCO2 and Paco2 in spontaneously breathing nonintubated ICU patients admitted for acute respiratory failure. Our study argues against the use of EtCO2 monitoring in such patients but raises the possibility that PtcCO2 measurement may provide reasonable estimates of Paco2.
