Abstract Context End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) is used as a noninvasive bedside test to assess the adequacy of ventilation and physiologic dead space in mechanically ventilated patients. The gradient difference between EtCO2 and partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) is directly rela...
