Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Background Respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Conventional pulmonary function tests are effort‐dependent and may fail to detect early nocturnal hypoventilation. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) measurement is a non‐invasive method for assessing ventilation, but its role in ALS ...
