Background: Transcutaneous measurement of carbon dioxide (PtCO2) has been suggested as an alternative to invasively obtained PaCO2 for the monitoring of patients with respiratory failure. Current data show conflicting results in patients on the emergency department (ED). Methods and Setting: We performed a retrospective comparison of real-time PtCO2 (SenTec Digital Monitor; SenTec AG; Therwil, Switzerland) without drift correction and PaCO2/PvCO2 measurements in patients with severe respiratory failure during non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on the ED. In all patients either an arterial or venous blood gas analysi…
