Abstract
We tested the utility of intratracheal carbon dioxide monitoring (IT-CO2) in 10 patients undergoing percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT). We have found IT-CO2 monitoring reliable in confirming the correct position of the tracheal cannula prior to tracheal dilatation using the Portex technique.Entities:
