UNLABELLED: Transcutaneous capnography is a noninvasive method useful for analysis of the behavioral tendency of transcutaneous CO2pressure (PtcCO2) in patients undergoing polysomnography, to evaluate respiratory sleep disorders. OBJECTIVE: Determine normative PtcCO2values in normal patients undergoing polysomnography. METHOD: One hundred seventy-nine patients who underwent polysomnography with simultaneous PtcCO2measurement were assessed by means of a transcutaneous capnograph (TCM4 series from Radiomiter). RESULTS: The group classified as normal (N=53) presented a apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) <5 events/per hour of sleep and their age groups varied between 7 and 76 years of age. CONCLUSION: Global mean values of PtcCO2in the normal group had a Gaussian distribution that varied between 33.1 and 50.0 mmHg (SD 4,363). Such findings allowed the establishment of normative PtcCO2values for normal individuals.
