Corrected End-Tidal PCO(2) Accurately Estimates PaCO(2) at Rest and During Exercise in Morbidly Obese Adults

BACKGROUND: Obesity affects lung function and gas exchange and imposes mechanical ventilatory limitations during exercise that could disrupt the predictability of PaCO(2) from end-tidal PCO(2) (PETCO(2)), an important clinical tool for assessing gas exchange efficiency during exercise testing. PaCO(...
