abstract：BACKGROUND:In the partial CO(2) rebreathing method, monitored changes in CO(2) elimination and end-tidal CO(2) in response to a brief rebreathing period are used to estimate cardiac output. However, dynamic changes in CO(2) production during ischemia and reperfusion may affect the accuracy of these estimates. This stud...
