“Capnography is a vital monitor of airway patency and of alveolar ventilation. The importance and breadth of its role has only become apparent recently.”
“Waveform capnography is the gold standard and should be used routinely for detecting correct tracheal intubation”
There is a lot of focus on capnography and waveform capnography. Both revolve around End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂), but what exactly is it? To understand EtCO₂, it is useful to understand the respiratory process.
Capnography is the measurement of the partial pressure of CO₂ during breathing.
Capnography masks are used to detect the levels of CO₂ in the blood by measuring End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO₂).
