In this episode we talk about this very common phenomenon in anaesthesia, the difference between ETCO2 and PaCO2.
Essentially this all comes down to patient and equipment factors.
BUT the essential element that makes the largest difference is DEAD SPACE.

Some links and formulas!
How does it measure cardiac output?
Using thermodilution and utilisation of Stewart Hamilton’s equation of:
(Tb-Ti)*Volume*k/intergration of change in T
What is venous admixture?
Venous admixture is the amount of mixed venous blood that needs to be added to end-capillary blood to account for the difference seen in pO2 between arterial blood and end-capillary blood.
It is calculated using the equation:
Qs/Qt = Cc’O2 – CaO2 / Cc’O2 – CvO2
Alveolar gas equation.
PAO2 = FiO2 (Patm – PH2O) – pCO2/R
Is there anything else at the end?
Yes there is a correction factor (+F) which is FiO2 * pCO2 * (1-R)/R and this is normally less than 2mmHg.
O2 content = SaO2 * Hb * 1.34 (Huffner’s constant which ideally is 1.39) + pO2 * 0.003
the isoshunt diagram is figure 8 here:
