The combined use of end-tidal carbon dioxide and alveolar dead space fraction values in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

Background: Several studies have reported that computed tomography pulmonary angiography is the best method for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE). This study, however, aimed to predict or exclude PE using the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) value and alveolar dead space fraction (AVDSf) together....
