In healthy individuals, every physiologic and metabolic process is controlled by more or less complex manners. One of the best control mechanism is the way of excreting excess of CO2. The maintenance of artificial breathing compromises or completely disturbs the above process which exposes the body to an adverse effect of high paCO2. The possible causes leading to the increase in paCO2 during general anesthesia with the use of endotracheal intubation were discussed in the work.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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.
