A 53-year-old man is cooled to 33 C after cardiac arrest. He is on volume ventilation and develops bradycardia, decreased CO2 production, and a PaCO2 of 29 mmHg when ABGs are reported at 37 C. Which assessment issue matters most?
Hypothermia eliminates the need to monitor CO2
Ventilation targets and ABG temperature interpretation can affect cerebral blood flow
A PaCO2 of 29 always proves metabolic acidosis
The ventilator rate should be increased whenever the patient is cooled
