title: [Detective efficacy of abnormality during mechanical ventilation].
abstract: The sensitivity of expired oxygen concentration (FeO2), oxygen concentration difference between inspiration and expiration (FiO2-FeO2), end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and pulse oxymetry (SpO2) in monitoring of several abnormal states during mechanical ventilation were compared in 10 patients. FiO2-FeO2 and FeO2 were found as sensitive as ETCO2 in monitoring hypoventilation. Oxygen analyzer located at the expiratory limb provided more information than at the inspiratory one. SpO2 was a rather insensitive detector for hypoventilation or even interruption of ventilation if FiO2 values was higher than that in ambient air. ETCO2 was a valuable estimate of adequate ventilation and CO2 elimination.
