摘要：

We used artificial augmentation of CO2 at a rate of 1 l/min after preoxygenation with 100% O-2 to test for apnea in 34 patients with suspected brain death, Observation time was markedly reduced compared with conventional apneic oxygenation, allowing PaCO2 levels greater than or equal to 60 mm Hg to be reached within 2 minutes. Properly administered, CO2-supported apnea testing is quick, requires only simple technical equipment, and does not unduly lower PaO2 or pH. It seems to be a useful alternative in cases where reduction of ventilatory volume is not wanted.
