The accuracy of transcutaneous PCO2 in subjects with severe brain injury: a comparison with end-tidal PCO2.

abstract：:Noninvasive support of ventilation is commonly needed in patients with neuromuscular disease. Body ventilators, which are used rarely, function by applying intermittent negative pressure to the thorax or abdomen. More commonly, noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is used. This therapy can be applied with ...
