Popis: To determine the validity of using UBCO2G for monitoring sick children with cardiac disease. Design: A prospective, observational non interventional cohort study. Setting: King Abdul Aziz Medical City, Pediatric Cardiac ICU (PCICU), Riyadh. Patients: Between April 2011 and May 2013, 257 patients admitted to our PCICU were recruited in the study. Intervention: Arterial and central venous blood samples were collected as needed per patients’ conditions. Patients’ clinical and laboratory data were collected simultaneously. Results: A total of 421 data sets with arterial, upper (SVC) and lower (FV) body central venous PCO2 were collected spontaneously from 257 patients age 17.0 ± 25.8 months, weight 7.45 ± 5.53 kg. UBPCO2G was higher than lower (art-FV) body PCO2 (LBPCO2G) gap 7.80 ± 3.28 vs. 5.95 ± 3.65 mmHg (p = 0.001. In 75% of our data sets UBPCO2G was ⩽9.65 and LBPCO2 gap was ⩽7.8 mmHg. Patients with UBPCO2G ⩾9.65 vs.
