Effectiveness of chest compressions (CPR) and detect Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)
Sleep Studies
Why Capnography is A Valuable Tool
For EMS Transport:
Capnography is a valuable tool during emergency transport of both intubated and non-intubated patients for proper assessment of the patient’s ventilatory status.
For Conscious Sedation:
When performing procedural sedation, ensuring patient safety and adequate ventilation is essential
For Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation:
Capnography is a valuable tool during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of intubated patients
For Pain Management:
The use of capnography is becoming more widespread for patients receiving opiates for acute pain management
For Sleep Laboratories:
When conducting sleep studies, it is important to accurately and consistently measure exhaled CO2 levels in order to reliably assess the quality of ventilation during sleep
