Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Post Cardiac Surgery: Incidence and Severity Resp Insufficiency
Completed
Conditions studied: Respiratory Insufficiency
In brief
The purpose for the investigators study is to investigate the severity and incidence of respiratory insufficiency using transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcPCO2) monitoring as an adjunct to the current standard of care for early detection of inadequate ventilation in post-operative surgical in-patients undergoing cardiac surgery after discharge from intensive care unit (ICU) or post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU).
