Normal PCO2levels help maintain the acid-base balance in the body, which is crucial for optimal organ function. The normal range for PCO2 in arterial blood is: 35-45 mmHg (millimeters of mercury)。 4.7-6.0 kPa (kilopascals)。 PCO2 levels can varyslightly depending on factors such as age, ...
The end-tidal PCO2 differed by 2.3 kPa between treatments: hypocapnia 3.4 (0.2) kPa with a range of 3.0–3.7 kPa and hypercapnia 5.7 (0.5) kPa with a range of 4.9–6.8 kPa). Similarly, arterial PCO2 differed by 2.4 kPa between treatments: hypocapnia 4.5 (0.6) kPa (range 3.8–5.6 kPa...
The normal adult Pcoz reactivity is an approximate 30% rise in CBF/I kPa rise in Pcol (7, 23). A Pco? reactivity close to zero indicates absent Pco2-CBFautoregulation (2 I ) with constant CBF in spite of acute Pco, changes and was found in preterm infants with severe intracranial ...
Using a transcutaneous P co 2 ( P tcCO 2 ) electrode, arterial P co 2 ( P aco 2 ) was compared with P tcCO 2 in eight adults (seven patients, one normal subject) over a wide range of values of P aCO 2 (2.4 to 7.87 kPa). At an electrode temperature of 43掳C, P tcCO 2...
