Bedside estimates of dead space using end-tidal CO2 are independently associated with mortality in ARDS
Abstract Purpose In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), dead space fraction has been independently associated with mortality. We hypothesized that early measurement of the difference between arterial and end-tidal CO2 (arterial-ET difference), a surrogate for dead space fraction, would predi...
