Summary
Elevated CO2 levels are common among sleep lab patients, with research indicating that as many as 46% of pediatric patients with sleep-disordered breathing experience a nocturnal change in CO2 of more than 10 mmHg.¹
Lisa DeGuzman, RRT-NPS, RPSGT, CCSH discusses the role of transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in the Nemours Children’s Hospital Pediatric Sleep Center, highlighting its applications in detecting and guiding the management of sleep-disordered breathing among the pediatric population. In this adapted version of her webinar, you can explore the key takeaways and gain insights from the Nemours sleep lab.
