Background and Aims: The reliability of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) as a measure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in pediatric laparoscopy is unclear. We evaluated the correlation of arterial to end tidal P(a-ET) CO2 during pediatric laparoscopy at two hours of pneumoperitoneum as the primary...
