  Objective: During intravenous sedation, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is usually measured with a nasal cannula or mouth-nose cannula. We compared the measurement accuracy of ETCO2 between these two devices and TC-CO2 and assessed which device is more useful during intravenous sedation in volunteers. Methods: Eight male volunteers aged 25 to 35 years were evaluated in this single-institution blinded observational trial. After they lay quietly for 5 min without supplemental oxygen, the volunteers received supplemental oxygen by means of each device at a flow rate of 3 L/min for 15 min. Next, midazolam (0.05 mg/kg) was intravenously injected, flumazenil (20 mg) was injected 30 min later, and the ETCO2 and TC-CO2 waveform were recorded. Results: The differences between ETCO2 and TC-CO2 significantly increased after mida.. View More»
