Answer :
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide ([tex]PaCO_{2}[/tex] )is the arterial blood gas measurement best reflects the adequacy of alveolar ventilation.
Paco2 is an index of the adequacy of alveolar ventilation in relation to carbon dioxide production. A primary rise in [tex]PaCO_{2}[/tex] i will trigger an increase in ventilation and restore the Paco2 if the respiratory pump is intact.
Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ([tex]PaCO_{2}[/tex]) i measures the pressure of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood and how well carbon dioxide is able to move out of the body.
An elevated [tex]PaCO_{2}[/tex] reflects alveolar hypoventilation, whereas a decreased [tex]PaCO_{2}[/tex] reflects alveolar hyperventilation.
