Continuous in-line blood gas monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass significantly improves adherence to pCO2 management protocols compared to intermittent monitoring.
Ottens et al. (2007) conducted an RCT in Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (n=100). Continuous blood gas monitoring (CDI-500) with visible data and alarms vs. Standard intermittent blood gas monitoring (continuous monitoring blinded) was evaluated on Quality indicator compliance (pCO2 within 35-45 mmHg) (p=0.013). Continuous blood gas monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass significantly improved quality indicator compliance to 84% compared with 62% for standard intermittent monitoring.
