The prognostic value of end tidal carbon dioxide during cardiac arrest: a systematic review
ETCO2 values cannot be used as a mortality predictor in isolation – although it does appear to be a strong predictor of mortality.
Prehospital end-tidal carbon dioxide differentiates between cardiac and obstructive causes of dyspnoea
Lower levels of ETCO2 were associated with CHF related dyspnoea in this study in the prehospital setting.
Prehospital ETCO2 predicts in-hospital mortality and metabolic disturbances
A study to determine the ability of prehospital end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) to predict in-hospital mortality compared to conventional vital signs. Of all prehospital vital signs, ETCO2 was found to be the most predictive and consistent for mortality, which may be related to an association with metabolic acidosis.
