Association between Prehospital CPR Quality and End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Levels in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Introduction: International Guidelines recommend measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) to enhance cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality and optimize blood flow during CPR. Numerous factors impact EtCO2 (e.g., ventilation, metabolism,...

The Bougie and First-Pass Success in the Emergency Department
Bougie was associated with increased first-pass intubation success. Bougie use may be helpful in ED intubation.

End-tidal carbon dioxide and defibrillation success in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Abstract Purpose. Basing on the relationship between the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the responsiveness of VF to the defibrillation we aimed to assess whether the values of ETCO2 in the minute before defibrillation could...

The Effect of Successful Intubation on Patient Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Taipei
Study objective The effect of out-of-hospital intubation in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrestremains controversial. The Taipei City paramedics are the earliest authorized to perform out-of-hospital intubation among Asian...
Clinical Studies
Comparison of the Effects of Three Different Counting Methods on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality and Rescuer Fatigue
Background: Chest compression with adequate depth and number is one of the main indicators of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nevertheless, no proper counting technique is suggested to provide sufficient number of massages. Aim:...
Clinical Studies
The past, present, and future of ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Future out of hospital cardiac arrest studies are still exploring how to optimize the delivery of ventilation during the initial stages of resuscitation. More prospective studies focusing on ventilation are needed to inform guidelines.

End-tidal Carbon Dioxide is Associated With Mortality and Lactate in Patients with Suspected Sepsis
We observed a significant association between ETCO(2) concentration and in-hospital mortality in emergency department patients with suspected sepsis across a range of disease severity.
Clinical Studies
Application of Pressure of End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Concentration in Polysomnography
The study provides preliminary data showing that PETCO2 potentially can be used in continuous monitoring of OSAHS patients. And PETCO2 can indicate the severity of OSAHS.
