Transcutaneous Carbon-dioxide Monitoring in Electrophysiological Procedures in Deep Sedation

The transcutaneous CO2 Monitoring measures the CO2 partial pressure of the skin and in condition of good circulation these values approximate the arterial/venous CO2 partial pressure. The sensor is placed on the forehead. The physician adapts the sedation Management according to the transcutaneous CO2 monitoring.

The transcutaneous CO2-sensor is also positioned on the patients' forehead, but the transcutaneous CO2-monitoring is not available for the physician to adapt the sedative management.
