In 31 normal and 378 patients suffering from various bronchopulmonary diseases, a relation was established experimentally between TCO and the alveolo-arterial gradient of CO2. From TCO and CO2 output, this relation allows to obtain a reproducible estimation of the alveolo-arterial gradient and of the arterial pressure of CO2 by a non-bloody method with sufficient clinical accuracy. Moreover, this methods permits to interpret TCO steady state more easily and especially so under unusual ventilatory conditions.
在31名正常人和378名患有各种支气管肺部疾病的患者中，通过实验建立了总二氧化碳（TCO）与二氧化碳肺泡 - 动脉梯度之间的关系。根据TCO和二氧化碳排出量，这种关系能够通过一种非侵入性方法以足够的临床准确性对肺泡 - 动脉梯度和动脉二氧化碳分压进行可重复的估计。此外，这种方法能够更轻松地解释TCO稳态，尤其是在异常通气条件下。
