- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main study endpoint is the quantification of the effect of the clinical<br /><br>introduction of transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring during laryngoscopic<br /><br>and microlaryngeal procedures in children. Therefore, the main study parameter<br /><br>is the cumulative carbon dioxide load / shortage, as a fraction of the<br /><br>monitoring time and will be compared between the *pre* and *post* timeframes. </p><br>
