SpO2 above 92% correlates with a PaO2 above 60 mm Hg Pulse oximetry has been used as a reliable noninvasive means of monitoring oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patient SpO2 of 95% has a strong correlation with PaO2 of 70 mm Hg with a sensitivity of 100% (Niehoff et al., 1988) SpO2 can be used to facilitate FIO2 weaning The FIO2 may be reduced to an appropriate level by use of a single arterial blood gas measurement followed by multiple pulse oximetry measurements (Rotello et al., 1992) Oxygenation of the ventilator-dependent patient can be assured when the SpO2 is kept above 92% as this level correlates with a PaO2 above 60 mm Hg (Jubran et al., 1990) Table 9-9 outlines other clinical application of pulse oximetry Limitations of Pulse Oximetry SpO2 has good correlation with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) when the SaO2 is 95% or greater dyshemoglobins: Hemoglobins that not carry oxygen (e.g., carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin) In the presence of dyshemoglobins, pulse oximeter reads higher than actual SaO2 Low perfusion and presence of dyshemoglobins may lead to SpO2 that are higher than the actual SaO2 SpO2 has good correlation with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) when the SaO2 is 95% or greater (Niehoff et al., 1988) SpO2 becomes less accurate as SaO2 decreases, and over estimation of a patient’s oxygenation status may result The accuracy of pulse oximetry can be affected by factors such as artifact and underlying patient conditions Artifact due to motion remains a cause of inaccurate measurement despite corrective efforts (Pologe, 1987) Sunlight has been reported to give a falsely low SpO2 measurement (Abbott, 1986) Nail polish (primarily blue, green, and black), and intravascular dyes can also give a falsely low SpO2 reading (Welch, DeCesare & Hess, 1990) Improper placement of the oximeter probe can give a faulty SpO2 reading as well If a patient is wearing nail polish, the probe may be placed sideways (White et al., 1989) Pathologic factors such as low perfusion states and presence of dyshemoglobins may lead to SpO2 measurements that are higher than the actual SaO2 (Schnapp & Cohen, 1990) Table 9-10 shows the factors that affect the accuracy of pulse oximetry Integrated Pulse CO-Oximetry In addition to the SpO2 and PR (pulse rate), an integrated pulse CO-oximetry (Masimo Rainbow SET®) uses signal extraction technology to measure a patient’s hemoglobin TABLE 9-9 Clinical Application of Pulse Oximetry Clinical Application Examples Monitor oxygenation status Mechanical ventilation Intubation Surgery Titrate

Intravenous dyes Dyshemoglobins (methemoglobin, sulfahemoglobin, SpO2 measures higher than actual SaO2 carboxyhemoglobin) Low perfusion states © Cengage Learning 2014 Integrated pulse CO-oximetry is capable of measuring the hemoglobin (SpHb™), oxygen content (SpOC™),carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), pleth variability index (PVI®), and perfusion index (PI) (SpHb™), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), pleth variability index (PVI®), and perfusion index (PI) Pleth variability index (PVI®)(Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA, USA) is an algorithm allowing for automated and continuous calculation of the respiratory variations in the pulse oximeter plethysmographic (∆POP) waveform amplitude PVI has been used to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients during general anesthesia (Cannesson et al., 2008) Perfusion index (PI) is a relative assessment of the pulse strength at the monitoring site The PI display ranges from 0.02% (very weak pulse strength) to 20% (very strong pulse strength) During sensor placement, use a site with the highest PI number (strongest pulse amplitude) The PI is influenced primarily by the amount of blood at the monitoring site, not by the level of oxygenation in the blood Preliminary data from one study show that low PI values correspond with illness on neonates (DeFelice et al., 2002) Other applications of PI include assessment of pain in the anesthetized state (Hagar et al., 2004) and as an early indicator of successful epidural block in laboring women (Kakazu et al., 2005) END-TIDAL CARBON DIOXIDE MONITORING end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring: The CO2 level measured at the end of exhalation; measured in mm Hg End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring is done to monitor a patient’s ventilatory status Once a good correlation is established between PaCO2 and end-tidal PCO2 (PetCO2), the number of routine blood gases may be reduced In addition, changes of the PetCO2 values and waveforms may also be obtained and interpreted for additional information about the patient/ventilator system Copyright 2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned,

Ventilation 261 Capnography Capnography is a measurement of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a gas sample When the sample is collected at the end of expiration, it is called end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PetCO2) PetCO2 monitoring provides real-time, noninvasive analysis of a patient’s expired CO2 trend during mechanical ventilation Ventilators have built-in end-tidal CO2 monitoring capabilities The exhaled CO2 from the patient ventilator circuit is collected and measured by the infrared absorption technique (Hess, 1990) A mainstream sensor is placed directly onto the ventilator circuit, usually attached to an adaptor on the endotracheal tube A sidestream sensor aspirates a sample of gas via a small tube connected to the endotracheal tube adaptor Figure 9-12 illustrates the mainstream and sidestream capnography sensors The major advantage of mainstream analysis is the fast response time between actual CO2 sampling and the display update The disadvantage of the mainstream adaptor is its excessive weight on the endotracheal tube as well as the additional deadspace in the ventilator/patient circuit With mainstream sampling, water condensation does not affect analysis; however, secretion buildup on the cell windows can affect the accuracy A mainstream analyzer also tends to be more frequently handled than the sidestream sensor because the clinician must disconnect it manually to suction the patient (Shelley, 1989) A sidestream analyzer (aspirating analyzer) places the analyzing mechanism safely within the monitor and draws a sample via a tube connected at the patient’s airway (e.g., endotracheal tube) The major advantage with sidestream analysis is the ease of handling, and the analyzer can be attached to other patient devices (e.g., cannula, mask) The major disadvantage is that with periodic aspiration of air samples, secretions and water can be drawn into the sampling tube and cause an occlusion Lag time for CO2 display is slightly longer (a few tenths of a second) than the mainstream analyzer but it is negligible Equipment contamination may be a problem with the sidestream analyzer (Shelley, 1989) Capnography Waveforms and Clinical Application The PetCO2 may be used to estimate the PaCO2 A capnogram (Figure 9-13) shows the changes in PECO2 during a complete respiratory cycle The PECO2 is at zero before exhalation At the beginning of exhalation, the PECO2 remains at zero as anatomic deadspace volume exits the airways (phase I) The PECO2 then increases dramatically as alveolar gas begins mixing with deadspace gas (phase II) Then the curve plateaus, reflecting the exhalation of alveolar gas (phase III) The end of the “alveolar plateau” is called the end-tidal PCO2 (PetCO2) Since the PetCO2 approximates the alveolar PCO2, this value may be used to estimate the PaCO2 Copyright 2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part Due to electronic rights,

determining accidental esophageal intubations, endotracheal tube cuff leaks, and airway obstructions It can also be used to determine the synchronization of respiratory frequencies between the patient and ventilator Some other clinical applications for capnography include use during weaning, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation, bronchoscopy, and hypocapnic management of patients with head trauma (Carlon et al., 1988; Hess, 1990) The capnographs not provide absolute measurements but they can be used to follow the PCO2 changes in hemodynamically stable trauma patients (Hess, 1990) Figure

reserves the right to remove additional content at any time if subsequent rights restrictions require it 264 Chapter P(a-et)CO2 Gradient Under ideal conditions, the PaCO2 is about mm Hg higher than the PetCO2 resulting a P(a-et)CO2 of mm Hg The correlation between PaCO2 and PetCO2 is excellent and the P(a-et)CO2 gradient (difference) between these two measurements is about mm Hg in normal individuals For critical patients, a gradient of mm Hg is considered acceptable (Niehoff et al., 1988) The P(a-et)CO2 gradient is primarily affected by alveolar deadspace ventilation (Perel & Stock, 1992), old age, presence of pulmonary disease, and changes in mechanical volume and modality Table 9-11 lists some specific conditions that increase the P(a-et)CO2 gradient Disposable ETCO2 Detector Capnography can also be estimated via a low-cost, dis- posable, plastic, CO2 (pH)-sensitive device With this device attached to the endotracheal tube, one can quickly differentiate tracheal from esophageal intubation (Hess, 1990) This occurs when the pH-sensitive device on the material senses the changes in CO2 concentration Limitations of Capnography Monitoring Capnography readings reflect only the changes in a patient’s ventilatory status, rather than the improvement or deterioration of the patient Decreased PetCO2 may not be indicative of improvement in gas exchange Capnography readings reflect only the changes in a patient’s ventilatory status, rather than the improvement or deterioration of the patient (Whitaker, 2001) An example of this is deadspace ventilation as seen in pulmonary embolism (Figure 9-15) A decrease in PetCO2 due to physiologic deadspace ventilation does not mean that the patient’s ventilatory status has improved Lowering the ventilator frequency in this situation could lead to grave consequences Other conditions leading to an increase in deadspace ventilation (thus a decrease in PetCO2) are hypotension and high intrathoracic pressure secondary to mechanical ventilation (Whitaker, 2001) This could cause the practitioner to incorrectly assume that the decreased PetCO2 indicates an improvement in gas exchange TABLE 9-11 Factors That Increase the P(a-et)CO2 Gradient Clinical Condition Factors Ventilation Increased deadspace ventilation Positive pressure ventilation Perfusion Decreased cardiac output Decreased pulmonary perfusion Cardiac

portion of the pulmonary blood flow (e.g., pulmonary embolism) This condition leads to a reduced PetCO2 reading TRANSCUTANEOUS BLOOD GAS MONITORING Transcutaneous blood gas monitoring involves placement of a miniature Clark (PO2) or a Severinghaus (PCO2) electrode on the skin via a double-sided adhesive disk A heating coil in the electrode increases the permeability of the epidermis, thus facilitating diffusion of gas from the underlying capillaries to the electrode Transcutaneous blood gas monitoring has been used more often in neonates than in adults (Eberhard et al., 1981) Transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2): Measurement of PO2 through the skin by means of a miniature Clark (PO2) electrode For an adequate blood flow to the skin, a heating element is used to provide a constant temperature (e.g., 44ºC) to the skin The clinical optimal range of PtcO2 for most infants is 50 mm Hg to 70 mm Hg The transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) provides a noninvasive measurement of arterial oxygen tension The PtcO2 monitor uses a combined platinum and silver electrode covered by an oxygen-permeable hydrophobic (water-repelling) membrane, with a built-in reservoir of phosphate buffer and potassium chloride Since the PtcO2 sensor requires an adequate blood flow to the skin, a small heating element is placed in the silver anode to provide a constant temperature (e.g., 44ºC) to the skin Following the initial setup or site change, the PtcO2 should be correlated with an arterial or capillary sample The value from the PtcO2 monitor should be recorded immediately after obtaining the arterial or capillary sample (Klein, 2008) In neonates, the transcutaneous PO2 (PtcO2) closely approximates the PaO2 But in adults, the PtcO2 measures lower than the actual PO2 due to thicker skin in adults For this reason, pulse oximetry (SpO2) is the preferred method to monitor the oxygenation status of adult patients PtcO2 also approximates the central organ PO2 (Tremper et al., 1979) It has a good correlation with the cardiac output changes in a mechanically ventilated patient (Shapiro et al., 1989) Since PtcO2 values correlate well with arterial values within the whole PO2 range (particularly in the PO2 range below 100 mm Hg), Copyright 2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part Due to electronic rights,

Learning reserves the right to remove additional content at any time if subsequent rights restrictions require it 266 Chapter the PtcO2 can be used as an indicator of hypoxemia (Huch et al., 1974) The clinical optimal range of PtcO2 for most infants is 50 mm Hg to 70 mm Hg (Klein, 2008) Accuracy of the PtcO2 electrode is affected by skin edema, hypothermia, and capillary perfusion status Limitations Accuracy of the PtcO2 electrode is affected by skin edema, hypothermia, and capillary perfusion status PtcO2 becomes less accurate when the measuring range is greater than 80 mm Hg (Palmisano et al., 1990) When cardiac output decreases, as with the patient in shock, a disproportionate fall in PtcO2 occurs Two other disadvantages of transcutaneous monitors are the need for frequent site changes (every hours) to avoid erythemia and burns to the infant’s skin, and a long equilibration time after each site change Transcutaneous PCO2 (PtcCO2) transcutaneous PCO2 (PtcCO2): Measurement of PCO2 through the skin by means of a miniature Severinghaus (PCO2) electrode Transcutaneous PCO2 (PtCO2) monitoring is done to provide a means of continuous ventilatory assessment The PtcCO2 is measured by heating the underlying skin to 44°C (40°C to 42°C in neonates, maximum 45°C), which facilitates CO2 diffusion across the skin to the CO2 electrode The correlation between PtcCO2 and PaCO2 is good in neonates as long as perfusion is normal This correlation in adults shows mixed results, but in general the PtcCO2 may be useful as a monitoring tool once the trend has been established Limitations It should be noted that PtcCO2 values are usually higher than PaCO2 values This is due to increased CO2 production as underlying tissues are heated (Marini, 1988) In addition, during shock or low perfusion states, the PtcCO2 measures higher than the actual PaCO2 due to increased accumulation of tissue CO2 (Tremper et al., 1981) CEREBRAL PERFUSION PRESSURE Maintenance of adequate CPP reduces mortality cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP): Pressure required to provide blood flow, oxygen, and metabolite to the brain CPP MAP ICP Normal range 70 to 80 mm Hg CPP should range between 70 and 80 mm Hg Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is the pressure required to provide blood flow, oxygen, and metabolites to the brain Under normal conditions, the brain regulates its own blood flow regardless of the systemic blood pressure and cerebral vascular resistance This autoregulation may be lost following head trauma, where the cerebral vascular resistance is often greatly elevated The brain also becomes vulnerable to changing blood pressures Depending on the degree of decrease in cerebral perfusion, effects on the brain may range from cerebral ischemia to brain death (Bouma et al., 1990; Marion et al., 1991) The optimum level of CPP is not defined, but the critical threshold is believed to be from 70 to 80 mm Hg Mortality increases about 20% for each 10 mm Hg drop in CPP In studies involving severe head injuries, 35% reduction in mortality was achieved when the CPP was maintained above 70 mm Hg (Bouma et al., 1992; Rosner et al., 1990) Copyright 2013 Cengage

Editorial review has deemed that any suppressed content does not materially affect the overall learning experience Cengage Learning reserves the right to remove additional content at any time if subsequent rights restrictions require it Monitoring in Mechanical Ventilation A higher CPP may be maintained by raising the MAP or by lowering the ICP The normal ICP is to 12 mm Hg; clinical practice , 20 mm Hg Systemic hypotension is associated with poor outcomes in patients with severe head injuries 267 CPP is the difference between the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the intracranial pressure (ICP) The relationship is shown as follows: CPP MAP ICP Based on the relationship of MAP and ICP, a higher CPP may be maintained by raising the MAP or by lowering the ICP In clinical practice ICP is usually controlled within normal limits (i.e., ,20 mm Hg) However, it is unknown whether ICP control is necessary, providing that CPP is maintained above the critical threshold by raising the MAP (Changaris et al., 1987; Rosner et al., 1990) In the absence of hemorrhage, the MAP should be managed initially by maintaining an adequate fluid balance It may then be followed by using a vasopressor such as norepinephrine or dopamine Systemic hypotension (i.e., SBP ,90 mm Hg) should be avoided and controlled as soon as possible because adequate systemic perfusion is necessary to prevent cerebral ischemia (due to lack of cerebral blood flow) For patients with severe brain injury, systemic hypotension contributes to an increased morbidity and mortality (Chesnut et al., 1993; Marmarou et al., 1991) SUMMARY Monitoring in mechanical ventilation is done to provide information about the condition of the patient and the overall effectiveness of a treatment plan The results obtained from different monitoring techniques should be used and interpreted together and should not be treated as isolated measurements For example, a decrease in end-tidal CO2 may indicate the presence of deadspace ventilation But this assumption must be confirmed with other supporting evidence such as a concurrent decrease in perfusion (decrease in cardiac output or other hemodynamic values) Trending or interpreting a series of measurements is also more meaningful since the overall condition of a patient is a dynamic process, not a set of separated events Finally, the condition of the patient should be assessed in conjunction with the monitoring results This is because the patient may temporarily compensate for abnormal conditions under extremely stressful settings This erroneous “normal” measurement may not be apparent by reviewing the laboratory results alone Therefore, careful examination of the patient should always be a vital part of monitoring in mechanical ventilation
