Connection between the amount of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood and the carbon dioxide exhaled by patients who are intubated for respiratory failure due to low oxygen.

Completed
Conditions
Acute respiratory failure,
Registration Number
CTRI/2023/05/053106
Brief Summary

This study is a prospective cross sectional observational study, comparing the partial pressure of arterial vs end tidal carbon dioxide in intubated patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure in 185 patients that will be conducted in critical care unit of Kasturba Hospital, Manipal. The primary outcome will be correlation between PaCO2 and PETCO2. The secondary outcome will be correlation of PaCO2 and PETCO2 across different levels of hypoxia measuured by PaO2/ FiO2 ratio.
