OBJECTIVE Transcutaneous blood gas-monitoring systems with miniaturized SpO(2) (peripheral blood oxygen saturation)/PCO(2) combined sensors (TOSCATM) have been widely used. There are no reports of the inter- and intra-individual variability in transcutaneous measurements of PaCO(2) (PtcCO(2)) in response to acute progressive changes in PaCO(2). This study examined inter- and intra-individual variability of PtcCO(2) measurements under semi-steady-state conditions, and characterized the behaviour of PtcCO(2) in response to acute progressive changes in PaCO(2). METHODS Subjects breathed mixed gases through a mouthpiece connected to an automatic arterial blood gas controller. Using end-tidal PCO(2) and PO(2) as guides, PaCO(2) was controlled to increase and/or decrease between baseline and > or = 60 mm Hg, in a stepwise (n = 9) or progressive fashion (n = 6). Arterial blood was sampled when needed. RESULTS Intra-individual correlation coefficients between PtcCO(2) and PaCO(2) were excellent in all subjects (0.971-0.989); however, the slope of the regression line varied among subjects (1.040-1.335). Bias and limits of agreement (+/- 2 SD from bias) between PtcCO(2) and PaCO(2) were -1.8 mm Hg and -7.7 to 4.1 mm Hg. Changes in PtcCO(2) in response to acute progressive changes in PaCO(2) also varied among subjects. CONCLUSIONS The PtcCO(2) measurement system allows reliable estimation of PaCO(2) in a given subject. However, caution is needed when comparing absolute values between subjects or when acute changes in PaCO(2) occur.

D001785 Blood Gas Monitoring, Transcutaneous The noninvasive measurement or determination of the partial pressure (tension) of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide locally in the capillaries of a tissue by the application to the skin of a special set of electrodes. These electrodes contain photoelectric sensors capable of picking up the specific wavelengths of radiation emitted by oxygenated versus reduced hemoglobin.

D015588 Observer Variation The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).
