![]() If the artificial dead space occupied above 15 percent of tidal volume, the effect of CO2 was retention revealed in the body.Ĥ. As the artificial dead space was reduced, the difference between ETCO2 and PaCO2 was decreased, in other words pulmonary ventilation was improved.ģ. CO2 can be expelled effectively from the body in case artificial dead space was decreased.Ģ. Also, the paired t-test was used to examine the hypothesis.ġ. The t-test was used to test the homogenety of the pulmonary ventilation status and mechanical ventilation setting before intervention between the two groups. The Chi2 -test was used to find general characteristics. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/PC+ program. The tools of this study were GEM-Premier and Space-Lab patient monitors. ETCO2, PaCO2, SPO2 were measured as indicators of pulmonary ventilation. The artificial airway volume was minimized in the experimental group, and the control group maintained the artificial airway volume. They were composed of 34 patients : 17 patients were assigned to the experimental group and the rest of them were placed in the control group. The subjects were selected from a pediatric intensive care unit of 'S' hospital and intubated with 3.5 mm or 4.5 mm endotracheal tube after open heart surgery. ![]() This study was done to evaluate the effect reducing artificial dead space on intubated children.ĭata were collected from July 1st, 1998 to August 31st, 1999. ![]()
