End Title CO2 Monitoring Capnography By Gary Cross
Infrared Capnometer • CO2 absorbs infrared light • transmitter • receiver • difference
Two Types • Mainstream • Sidestream
Patient interface • ET tube 15mm • Nasal cannula adapter
Mainstream • Advantages • Response time • Disadvantages • weight on ET tube
Sidestream • Advantages • Light weight on airway • disadvantages • thin tube, blocked with water and mucus • delay time in sample rate
Calibration • CO2 calibration gas • 0% • 5% • Barometric Pressure • adjust partial pressure
Where it’s used • Anesthesia • every patient • ECG • Pulse ox • ICU • a little • misapply
Segments • PQ rapid increase • Plateau QR nearly horizontal • slight increase • R end tidal value • Equivalent to Alveolar CO2 • (ONLY when horizontal plateau) • RS begin inspiration
Different than Normal • Some based on patients sedated in Operating Room • Anesthesia • Rebreathing circuit
