Highlights |
• | End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂) measurement is a valuable tool in pediatric emergency departments, but its use in non-intubated patients has been limited. |
• | This study aims to demonstrate a simple method for measuring ETCO₂ in non-intubated patients. |
• | The ETCO₂ levels obtained with these methods show a significant correlation with blood gas carbon dioxide and bicarbonate. |
• | Implementing this approach is expected to increase the frequency of capnographic monitoring in non-intubated patients. |
