In this article, Anne M. Geistkemper, MSc, RRT, RRT-NPS discusses the practical applications of transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in the NICU, its integration into neonatal care practices, and the evolution of this technology’s adoption in the Rush University Children’s Hospital NICU.

In this whitepaper, PICU specialists from Children’s Memorial Hermann share case studies demonstrating how continuous visibility provided by transcutaneous CO2 monitoring supported their team’s patient care strategies.

This clinical pocket guide serves as a comprehensive resource for healthcare professionals, particularly neonatal specialists seeking to harness the potential of transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in the care in the NICU.

Hang these posters up in your unit for quick, simple references that make transcutaneous monitoring simple. This bundle offers six print-ready, at-a-glance resources for your team.

This whitepaper explores how clinicians balance protecting the fragile, developing brains and lungs of premature infants in the NICU. This process is a delicate tightrope walk in which CO2 plays a key role.

Sentec transcutaneous technology overcomes many of the current limitations and challenges associated with CO2 measurement in the NICU by providing accurate, continuous, noninvasive CO2 values regardless of ventilation method or V/Q mismatch.

Transcutaneous CO2 monitoring (tcPCO2) is considered by many neonatal teams to be standard of care in the NICU for intubated patients – but many children’s hospitals utilize this technology across many more patient types and care settings. This document explores tcPCO2 in clinical settings, demonstrating the impact that this technology can have throughout a children’s hospital.

The Sentec suite of attachment options for transcutaneous CO2 monitoring allows care teams to confidently choose solutions that support the clinical priorities of each patient — across populations and care settings.

Learn more about how a level IV NICU team was recently successful in developing an all-encompassing strategy to drive consistent utilization of transcutaneous monitoring with the goal of improving patient care.

In NICUs, PICUs, and sleep labs around the world, transcutaneous monitoring has increasingly become a trusted tool for continuous, noninvasive CO2 measurement. The technology can help reduce the need for frequent blood draws, enable proactive ventilator management, and offer additional benefits as care teams support diverse patient populations.
