Highlights

  • The critical role of CO2 monitoring in the PICU, especially with the growing preference for noninvasive ventilation techniques in treating pediatric patients.
  • The advantages of transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in addressing the limitations of other CO2 measurement methods, including arterial blood gases (ABGs) and end-tidal CO2 monitoring.
  • Four case studies demonstrating the benefits of implementing transcutaneous CO2 monitoring for patients in the PICU.

How could transcutaneous monitoring enhance care in your pediatric ICU? In this whitepaper, PICU specialists from Children’s Memorial Hermann share case studies demonstrating how continuous visibility provided by transcutaneous CO2 monitoring supported their team’s patient care strategies.
