Comparing transcutaneous and arterial CO2 monitoring during jet ventilation for percutaneous liver tumor ablation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

During percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors, high-frequency jet ventilation is used to reduce diaphragm movement but prevents standard end-tidal CO2 monitoring. At this single center, patients receive both transcutaneous CO2 monitoring and arterial blood gas sampling as part of routine care, and consenting patients will have those values collected prospectively. The collected paired measurements will be compared using repeat-measures Bland–Altman analysis to quantify agreement and any systematic differences. All patients are managed according to the usual preoperative and intraoperative protocols and participation only involves allowing use of their monitoring data for analysis.
