Background: Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PtCO2) monitorization provides a continuous and non-invasive measurement of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)). In addition, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) can also be measured and followed by this method. However, data regarding the correlation between PtCO2 and arterial pCO(2) (PaCO2) measurements acquired from peripheric arterial blood gas is controversial.
