End-tidal to arterial PCO2 ratio: a bedside meter of the overall gas exchanger performance

Abstract Background The physiological dead space is a strong indicator of severity and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The “ideal” alveolar PCO2, in equilibrium with pulmonary capillary PCO2, is a central concept in the physiological dead space measurement. As it cannot be mea...
