Volumetric capnography and calculation of dead space. Volumetric capnography expresses the amount of CO2 expired per breath (VTCO2). It separates tidal volume (VT) in the anatomical dead space (VDanat) from alveolar gas (VTalv). The difference between Bohr's formula and Enghoff's modification is given by the shunt effect, shown as the difference between arterial and alveolar pressure of CO2 (Pa-ACO2; in red).
