PCO2


Also found in: Acronyms.

Pco2

Symbol for partial pressure (tension) of carbon dioxide. See: partial pressure.

pCO2

Symbol for the negative decadic logarithm of the CO2 concentration.

PCO2

Partial pressure of CO2 in blood, expressed in kilopascals

PCO2

, pCO2
Abbreviation for partial pressure (tension) of carbon dioxide.
See: partial pressure

PCO2

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. This is a sensitive indication of the efficiency or level of ventilation of the lungs. Hyperventilation causes a drop in PCO2; underventilation causes a rise.
