Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), also known as vaginal prolapse is when one or more of a woman’s pelvic organs slip down from their normal position.1 There are many treatments for POP, but a conservative option is vaginal pessaries. They are removable devices inserted into the vagina to support the pelvic floor and attempt to restore the prolapsed organs […]
Vaginal pessaries are removable devices inserted into the vagina to help patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence. They are designed to support the pelvic floor whilst attempting to restore the prolapsed organs to their normal position and relieve symptoms. Pessaries are a suitable option for most women who want to give birth […]
“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.
What is Capnography? Capnography is the measurement of the partial pressure of CO₂ during breathing. It is a non-invasive method that provides information on ventilation, perfusion and metabolism, all of which are extremely important for airway management[1]. If you would like to learn more about capnography, you can read our pages ‘What is Capnography?’ and ‘What is Waveform Capnography?’. […]
