We studied the changes in end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and systemic responses after tourniquet deflation in spontaneously breathing and ventilation-controlled patients during orthopedic surgery of both the upper and/or the lower extremities. In most patients, increases in ETCO2, heart rate, and PaCO2, as well as decreases in blood pressure and pH were observed. In every spontaneously breathing patient, the respiratory rate began to increase before the ETCO2 reached a maximum. Arterial blood gas analysis suggested that the increase in ETCO2 closely reflected the increase in PaCO2. Our study yielded new information on the ETCO2 changes as follows: 1) the time for ETCO2 level to reach a peak (peak time) was almost constant despite the considerable differences in the increases in ETCO2 both in spontaneous breathing and ventilation-controlled groups and the peak time in the former group was shorter than that in the latter group; and 2) it was suggested that the increase in ETCO2 in the spontaneously breathing patients was smaller than that in ventilation-controlled patients when both patients were subjected to the same conditions on tourniquet time and tourniqueted area. Our data showed that the increase in ETCO2 (or PaCO2) can be large and prolonged in some situations. Thus, we recommend continuous ETCO2 monitoring and the proper hyperventilation at tourniquet deflation in order to minimize any adverse effects of acidosis.
