“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).
Currently, in the UK and Ireland, general anaesthesia (GA) is most induced by administering a bolus of intravenous anaesthetic drugs and is then maintained through the use of inhaled anaesthetic agents.
