Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide monitoring during EUS-guided drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections using carbon dioxide insufflation: A prospective study

摘要

Carbon dioxide (CO ) insufflation has become more commonly used in EUS-guided interventions in recent years. However, there is a paucity of information regarding methods by which to monitor CO levels. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a novel noninvasive method to monitor transcutaneous partial pressure of CO ( ) ( ) levels during EUS-guided drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). The safety of CO insufflation in EUS-guided interventions was also investigated.
