  1. PaCO2Management —Conclusions • Avoid hypercapnia • Define PaCO2/ETCO2gradient • Modest hyperventilation (PaCO2 = 33–35 mmHg) if using volatile anesthetics • Modest hyperventilation if patient is dying of intracranial hypertension and surgical repair is imminent • Wait for surgical conditions to define requisite change in PaCO2
