In asthma, lower end-tidal carbon dioxide may predict acute exacerbation outcomes, although other measures may be better severity indicators.

Background and Aims: To test the hypothesis that effective ventilation, as evidenced by an increase in expired carbon dioxide (CO2), during the initial resuscitation of prematurely born infants ...
Large differences between arterial and end-tidal carbon dioxide tensions were present in patients with both chronic and acute pulmonary disease. For this reason the adequacy of ventilation cannot ...
In general, the degree of unsaturation paralleled the degree of occlusion of pulmonary vessels as judged by post-mortem examination or by the magnitude of the arterial-end-tidal carbon dioxide ...
